About the piece
Painted in 1899 by Henri Evenepoel, this evocative work depicts his friend and fellow artist Francisco Iturrino, known as 'The Spaniard.' The subject's imposing, dark presence is masterfully contrasted with the light, hazy atmosphere of Paris’s Place Blanche and the vibrant red of the Moulin Rouge in the distance.
