I like everything about this painting. Eduard Charlemont is an easy one to spot. Generally, his subjects are flamboyantly dressed, generally holding a drink, and often have a musical instrument; even if it’s just a drum. I think I’m ready to be this guy. And note the excellent little tusk-tenon bench.
There is an interesting light effect in this painting that ‘recall’ the subject out from the dark. Beautiful!
Thanks for the information. I’m sure I had to learn that in an Art History class but that was many years ago.
🙂 It was only my own thought 🙂
