About the piece
Painted in the late 19th century by Théobald Chartran, this oil on wood portrait depicts Gustave Worms, a celebrated sociétaire of the Comédie-Française. The work captures the subject's dignified presence and subtle, knowing expression, anchored by the vivid red of his cravat against an atmospheric, mottled background.
