Portrait of a Man (Thomas Eakins)

Gustave Caillebotte's 'Portrait of a Man' (1880) is a characteristic example of the Impressionist painter's formal portraits, in which modern Parisian sitters are posed with the discipline of Ingres but rendered with loose Impressionist brushwork. Caillebotte's own wealth and his collecting of his colleagues' work gave his portraits an unusual intimacy with the bourgeois Paris of his day. The oil on canvas is at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
