Catalogue Note

Cette figure d’homme est typique du personnage du bourgeois à la posture grandiloquente et aux riches habits que Pater intègre dans ses toiles. 

The manly figure is characteristic of the bourgeois wearing magnificent clothes, in an elegant posture that Pater features in his paintings.
