Pol Neveux 

"Pol Neveux" is a portrait by French artist Eugene Carriere, known for his distinctive, almost monochrome style. This painting is a characteristic example of Carriere's work, featuring soft, hazy outlines and a limited palette, primarily browns and grays. This technique, often described as "Clair-obscur," creates a sense of intimacy and mystery, emphasizing the sitter's enigmatic gaze. Carriere's work often focused on personal themes of family, loss, and the passage of time, adding depth to the seemingly simple subject matter.
