About this work

A seated man in a dark coat and bow tie plays a red cello, drawing the bow across its strings while glancing toward the viewer. A large canvas on an easel and dark draped background suggest an interior studio setting. This painted portrait by Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier is dated 1855 and depicts the cellist Alexander Batta.
