The Man in the Tall Hat

Édouard Manet, 1858/1859

The image shows a person sitting on a bench. The person is positioned sideways with their torso and face slightly turned towards the viewer. They are wearing a tall top hat that partially shades their face, draped in a cloak or cape covering most of their upper body. Their lower legs are visible, covered in light-colored pants, with dark shoes. The background is a wash of muted tones with no distinct scenery.
