About the piece
Painted in 1891 by Laure Brouardel, this formal portrait depicts Dr. Adrien Proust, a distinguished physician and father of the novelist Marcel Proust. The subject is rendered with scholarly gravitas, seated in a red velvet chair that provides a rich color accent against the luminous, draped golden background and his somber professional attire.
