1876, Edouard Manet, Portrait of Carolus-Duran -- National Gallery (London)

From the museum label: During the summer of 1876 Manet and fellow artist Carolus-Duran were staying in Montgeron, south of Paris. They each painted a portrait of the other, both left unfinished. Carolus-Duran's swaggering pose is a direct reference to Anthony van Dyck. The finely-painted figure contrasts with the sketchily worked surroundings, which reveal Manet's unresolved engagement with Impressionist brushwork.
