About the piece
Painted around 1866, this portrait of Antony Valabrègue showcases Paul Cézanne's early style, characterized by the vigorous application of paint with a palette knife. The subject's intense gaze and the high-contrast lighting create a striking, moody presence that feels both historically grounded and distinctly modern.
