About the piece
Created in 1887 by Albert Dubois-Pillet, this portrait depicts Monsieur Pool in full military uniform, featuring detailed gold epaulettes and medals. As a foundational figure in the Neo-Impressionist movement, Dubois-Pillet meticulously constructed the image using the pointillist technique, where small dots of pure color blend in the viewer's eye to create form and depth.
