About the piece
Painted in 1903 by Ferdinand Roybet, this oil on panel depicts the literary character Don César de Bazan in an exuberant pose. The work demonstrates Roybet's exceptional skill in rendering light and texture, from the intricate fabrics of the period costume to the luminous wine in the raised glass, all set against a rich, moody background that commands attention on any wall.
