About the piece

Painted around 1882, this masterwork by Paul Cézanne depicts Louis Guillaume with the artist's signature structured brushwork and sculptural approach to form. The composition expertly balances the dark weight of the sitter's jacket against the luminous white of his cravat, all set against a sophisticated, atmospheric background of cool teals and greys.
