Labels:text | screenshot | font | black and white OCR: The barrister or uncle Dominique The young Cezanne used his relations as his first models: his sisters, his father, and his maternal uncle Dominique Aubert who obliged the young artist's whims by dressing up as a monk, or wearing a turban or a cotton cap with bobbles. He was no barrister, but here he is wearing with the utmost seriousness, the barrister's robe and parodying the advocate's gestures. The face and hands, which are the most expressive elements of the portrait, are worked out in thick impasto smoothed out with a palette knife. The essentially black and white manner of this work -a creamy white and a deep black verging on blue- are reminiscent of the contrasted palette of Manet's Spanish period.
