About the piece
Created in 1913, this evocative portrait by Belgian artist Léon Spilliaert depicts Andrew Carnegie with a spectral, luminous quality. Utilizing a mix of pencil, pastel, and gouache, Spilliaert captures the sitter's presence through high-contrast chiaroscuro and a characteristically moody, introspective style.
