From National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo:
The nineteenth century’s Edouard Manet broke new ground for modern painting with works depicting the “now” of contemporary Paris life. A stylish gentleman strikes a pose on a garden path, his summer attire set off by a top hat and heather-weave coat. This is a thoroughly modern image, infused with bright natural light――a recent influence of the Impressionists. After Manet’s death, the portrait came into the hands of Edgar Degas, alas, the eponymous Monsieur Brun never owned it. (Source: Gallery label, October 2016)
