Portrait D’homme c. 1862 - 1864

Paul Cézanne's "Portrait D’homme" is a striking example of his early portraiture, showcasing the artist's exploration of color and form. Painted between 1862 and 1864, the work depicts a man with a full beard and a serious expression, emphasizing his intense gaze. Cézanne's use of bold brushstrokes and a dark, earthy palette creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the subject's presence and the artist's unique style. This work demonstrates Cézanne's early interest in portraying the human form with a sense of realism, laying the foundation for his later, more groundbreaking, explorations of color and form.
