About the piece
Painted in 1876, Henri de Braekeleer’s 'The Man on the Chair' is a tour de force of texture and light. This Antwerp interior scene showcases the artist's exceptional ability to render surfaces, from the glint of the tiled floor to the intricate relief of the leather wall coverings, surrounding the contemplative figure in a rich, historical atmosphere.
