About the piece
Created in 1875, this striking oil painting by Édouard Manet depicts his fellow artist Marcellin Desboutin. The subject is shown full-length in a dark suit and bohemian top hat, accompanied by a dog at his side, all set against a rich, atmospheric dark background that highlights Manet's masterful brushwork and modern sensibilities.
