Reason

He's an interesting fellow. French art critic, rediscovered Vermeer. I think what really attracted me, though, was the difference between what I could do for his image and the low-quality, rather oddly-cropped scan that was there. Stumbled on it while looking for a good image for Nadar - I found a really good one, but he has a beard in it, and that's not the most common one portrayed, so I need to think.

Anyway, this is another of his son's enlargements of his father's negatives. Some film and paper grain, but, on the whole, I think it's pretty good.

FP category for this image

That's an odd one. He was an art critic, which doesn't readily fit into the categories under People. It'd most likely either be Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Artists and writers or Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Others.
