Jean-Baptiste Faure (1830–1914) 1882 - 1883

This portrait of the renowned French baritone Jean-Baptiste Faure was painted by Édouard Manet in 1882–83. The painting, notable for its loose brushwork and unfinished quality, showcases Manet's signature style. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the portrait captures Faure’s distinguished presence through a close-up view that emphasizes his gaze and prominent beard. This oil-on-canvas painting is an example of realism with an Impressionistic flair, demonstrating Manet's transition into a less classical style.
