An oil on canvas depicting a priest, on the back is noted "painted after his death in Paris in September 1890".
Very large format. Beautiful painting technique in the flesh and drapery.
The priest is seated in an interior with a window opening onto a religious building. He is wearing his rigid black biretta on his knees. The flap hiding the indentation of the cassock as well as the black color of the latter confirms that it is a priest.
The red stole worn only by priests symbolizes the burden of the Gospel that he must carry on his shoulders.
