About the piece

Painted around 1880 by Gustave Caillebotte, this work captures a seated gentleman in profile against the soft light of a window. The composition demonstrates Caillebotte's signature mastery of perspective and light, featuring a striking contrast between the deep red of the armchair and the delicate, luminous lace curtain.
