About the piece
Created near the end of his life, Paul Cézanne's portrait of a seated man exemplifies his revolutionary Post-Impressionist style. The subject is constructed through careful patches of color that create a sense of volume and space, set against a dark, atmospheric background of foliage that emphasizes the contemplative mood of the sitter.
