Portrait of Monsieur Rouland c. 1875

This portrait of Monsieur Rouland, painted by Adolphe Joseph Thomas Monticelli around 1875, showcases the artist's signature loose brushstrokes and vibrant color palette. Monticelli, known for his Impressionistic style, captures the sitter's presence with a sense of immediacy and intimacy. The artwork's rich, warm tones create a sense of depth, highlighting the subject's weathered features and the texture of his clothing. Despite its unfinished quality, the portrait is a testament to Monticelli's unique artistic vision and his ability to convey personality through expressive brushwork. This work is currently on display at The Art Institute of Chicago.
