About the piece
This 1901 portrait by Gustaaf Vanaise depicts the Belgian architect Leonard Blomme in a moment of professional contemplation. Seated at his desk with a drafting tool in hand, the subject is rendered with exquisite realism, from the textures of his dark suit to the scholarly environment suggested by the red-bound books in the background.
