About the piece
Painted in 1894 by Georges Lacombe, this tempera work captures the mystical spirit of the Nabis group. The subject's vibrant orange beard provides a luminous focal point against dark robes and an ethereal pink-toned background, exemplifying the artist's masterful use of flat color and decorative line characteristic of the era's avant-garde movements.
