From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

Throughout his career, Émile Bernard made numerous portraits of his friends and colleagues, including this image of the painter Paul Sérusier. The two artists traveled to Florence in 1893 to study Renaissance painting and exchanged portraits of one another while they were there. Bernard portrayed his friend formally, presenting him frontally alongside a notation that the drawing was made during his Italian travels. The subject of this portrait, Émile Bernard, was known as "the Nabi with the red beard" for his distinctive facial hair.
