About the piece
This 1890 portrait by Georges-Léopold Mita depicts the renowned French photographer and caricaturist Nadar in his later years. Mita uses a vibrant, painterly red for Nadar's jacket, creating a powerful focal point against the dark, textured background that highlights the subject's spirited and thoughtful expression.
