About the piece

Created in 1882, this pastel on canvas by Édouard Manet depicts the animal painter Julien de la Rochenoire. The work showcases Manet's late-career mastery of the medium, utilizing vibrant, energetic strokes and the natural texture of the support to create a luminous, modern presence typical of the Impressionist era.
