About the piece
Created in 1895 by Jacques-Émile Blanche, this oil painting depicts Léon Pissard the Younger. The work is a masterclass in Belle Époque portraiture, using a dark, atmospheric palette to highlight the subject's expressive face and the painterly textures of his attire. It captures a moment of quiet dignity and intellectual depth.
