(Study of a Man with Hat and Cane Smoking a Cigar)
c. 1900

A painting of a man standing in a dimly lit architectural space, possibly a doorway or alcove. He is dressed in a white shirt, black vest, and black trousers, with a white apron tied around his waist and a white cap on his head. The man has a mustache and is holding a cigar to his mouth with his right hand, while his left hand rests on his hip. The background features dark tones with a column to the left and a checkered floor at the bottom. There is a faint emblem or decoration on the wall to the right. The artwork has a rough, sketch-like quality with visible brush strokes and unfinished edges.
