About the piece
Painted in 1891, this portrait by Eugène Carrière depicts his fellow artist Paul Gauguin. Carrière is celebrated for his monochromatic palette and sfumato-like technique, which lends his subjects a haunting, psychological depth. The warm sepia tones and expressive, hazy brushwork create a timeless, moody piece that exemplifies late 19th-century French Symbolism.
