About the piece
Painted in 1890, this portrait by William Jelley captures Alfred Verhaeren using a sophisticated pointillist technique. The interplay of light and color across the sitter's features and the textured background creates a luminous presence that exemplifies the Belgian avant-garde. The warm tones of the beard and the shimmering palette make it a compelling piece of late 19th-century art.
