About the piece
Painted in 1870, this striking oil portrait by Carolus-Duran depicts his friend, the French sculptor Alexandre Falguière. The work exemplifies the artist's mastery of tonal contrast and loose, confident brushwork, creating a sense of both physical presence and psychological introspection that resonates with classical European portraiture.
