Henri Léopold Lévy's 1884 oil painting "Un évêque" depicts a profile portrait of an elderly man wearing a bishop's mitre. The artist's signature and dedication appear at the bottom right. Lévy was a French painter known for his realistic portraiture, which captured the nuances of his subjects' expressions. The painting's somber palette and detailed brushstrokes give the subject a contemplative and almost melancholy air.
