Portrait of a Man, probably ca. 1862, Oil on canvas, 16 1/4 x 13 1/8 in. (41.3 x 33.3 cm), Paintings, Gustave Courbet (French, Ornans 1819–1877 La Tour-de-Peilz), The distinctive receding hairline and full lips suggest that the sitter for this informal portrait may be the dealer Jules Luquet, a supporter and friend of Courbet’s beginning in the 1860s. In size, composition, and handling, the picture is similar to the artist’s 1862 portrait of the painter Auguste Fajon (Musée Fabre, Montpellier), and it probably dates to about the same time
