Antoine Cossé, Illustrator, Paris

Description

This is a watercolor illustration of a man seated at a piano, dressed in a black tuxedo. The man is fair-skinned and he has rosy cheeks. He is holding a black bow tie in one hand and adjusting it. Behind him is an open window, offering a view of green trees and a building with a blue sky peeking through. The lighting suggests either late afternoon or early morning, with soft light filtering through the window, casting shadows within the room. The illustration style is reminiscent of early 20th-century portraiture.
