About the piece
Painted in 1896 by Henri Evenepoel, this portrait of Count Aymer de la Chevalerie exemplifies late 19th-century European portraiture. The artist employs a rich, atmospheric palette, focusing on the character of the sitter through confident brushwork and a bold splash of crimson that adds a modern touch to the traditional subject.
