Robert Henri's "Portrait of Carl Gustav Waldeck" is a realist oil painting from 1896. Henri, a prominent figure in the Ashcan School movement, is known for his depictions of everyday life and working-class subjects. The painting features a somber Waldeck, a fellow artist and close friend of Henri's, dressed in a dark coat and with a contemplative gaze. Henri's signature style is evident in the brushwork and the realistic rendering of the sitter, capturing the essence of his subject's personality.
