Carolus-Duran, a successful society portraitist, painted this informal view of his friend Édouard Manet at a villa outside of Paris. Manet was known for his impeccable grooming, but Carolus-Duran portrays him in a moment of ease, flushed by the effects of a warm afternoon, wearing a straw boater pushed back on his forehead. Working quickly, he captures Manet’s appearance and mood with broad, summary strokes, painting him “à la Manet”—employing his friend’s loose brushwork rather than his own tighter style.
