Jacques-Joseph Ebelman on his Deathbed
A man lies back on dark, heaped drapery, his head turned in profile to the right and his face lit softly against the shadowed cloth. A white collar and cravat show at the throat, and the oval vignette and warm brown tone give the image a quiet, solemn stillness.
Look closer: A white cravat and collar at the throat, partly hidden in shadow.
