Description

Portrait of Honoré de Balzac, bust-length, in brown, oil on canvas, unlined, 55.5 x 46.4cm (21 7/8 x 18 1/4in).

(The identification of the sitter as the writer Honore de Balzac (1799-1850) is traditional. The idea would be supported by the fact he is wearing a monk's cowl and yet does not have a tonsured haircut, so is not actually a monk. It is known that Balzac used to write his novels wearing a cowl)
