A portfolio of prints (including botanical illustrations by Pierre Joseph Redouté), a fashionable Tang dynasty horse, and Japanese fabric swatches and carte-de-visite photographs pinned to a board typify the eclectic taste of a contemporary collector. In the 1860s and early 1870s, Degas developed numerous figure paintings depicting individuals in settings that reveal clues about their character and vocation.

D 45 and in French and English in Reff 2020, letter no. 615], writes that he hears from Paul Durand-Ruel that Mr. Havemeyer has finally decided to keep the painting, probably this one (see Reff 2020), and expresses annoyance at the delay in receiving either payment or the returned painting.
Paul Jamot. Letter to Josephine McCarrell Lansing. August 31, 1929, comments that Marcel Guérin, then owner of the study for this portrait, had been unable to identify the sitter; remarks that it must have been a friend of the artist.

Metropolitan Museum Journal 1 (1968), pp. 125, 127, 131–33, 164–66, figs. 7, 8 (overall and detail), calls the anonymous sitter a type of old-fashioned collector rather than an individual; observes the predominance of the background over the figure; identifies the color lithographs as the work of Pierre Redouté, the statuette of a horse as a Chinese piece from the T'ang dynasty, and the items on the bulletin board as calling cards, photographs, and fragments of Japanese embroidery; considers the embroideries the most important element in the design, and indicative of Degas's assimilation of Japanese art.

Roy McMullen. Degas: His Life, Times, and Work. Boston, 1984, pp. 134, 145, 434, characterizes the sitter as "evidently secretive, even furtive" and finds an autobiographical element in the used hat which "links the sitter to Auguste [Degas]'s connoisseur circle, and hence today's viewer to Edgar on Sunday leave from the Lycée Louis-le-Grand".
Charles F. Stuckey inDegas: Form and Space. Ed. Maurice Guillaud. Exh. cat., Centre Culturel du Marais. Paris, 1984, p. 62 n. 128, fig. 64 (color), erroneously cites Millard's [Ref. 1976] identification of the horse as a wooden statue, suggesting that Degas used little wooden horses as models for his racing pictures.

Frances Weitzenhoffer. The Havemeyers: Impressionism Comes to America. New York, 1986, pp. 81, 255, pl. 34, states that Mrs. Havemeyer selected this work for the price of $1,000 during a visit to Degas's studio with Mary Cassatt in the spring of 1891; recounts Mrs. Havemeyer's story about Degas's raising of the price, noting that he actually kept it longer than the two years she remembered, for Durand-Ruel did not send it to her until December 13, 1894.
Gary Tinterow. Letter to Nicholas Penny. July 17, 1986, does not think that the present gilt frame is original since Degas painted his frames; suggests that this frame was supplied by Durand-Ruel [see Ref. Cahn 1995].
Michael Pantazzi inDegas. Exh. cat., Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais, Paris. New York, 1988, p. 249, compares the composition of this work to that of several other portraits done before Degas's departure for New Orleans in 1872 which depict figures against a background parallel to the picture plane, and "all of which share an almost compulsive interest in the dynamic contrast generated by the placement of a figure against a background dominated by the interplay of rectangles".
Henri Loyrette inDegas. Exh. cat., Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais, Paris. New York, 1988, pp. 44, 56, 122–23, no. 66, ill. (color), calls it a portrait of "the enthusiastic collector, a fanatic more anxious to acquire than to show—in short, what Degas himself a few years later would become".

Paris, 1989, p. 455, n.1 (under letter D 45), identifies Degas 1895 as regarding The Met's painting; notes that the Durand-Ruel New York ledger records the dealer as having received 14,400 francs for a painting by Degas on March 29, 1895 and that the daybook for the same date states that the painting was a "Portrait"; remarks that nothing in the dealer's archives reveals on which date Havemeyer paid for the painting.

Marianne Karabelnik inDegas Portraits. Exh. cat., Kunsthaus Zürich. London, 1994, p. 261, states that Degas, like Manet, elevates portraiture to a higher category by representing the individual within his environment; compares this painting with Manet's portrait of Zola (Orsay); notes that it "originally depicted an identifiable individual whom our ignorance has now made anonymous, turning the picture into genre".
Emil Maurer inDegas Portraits. Exh. cat., Kunsthaus Zürich. London, 1994, p. 105.
Richard Thomson. Edgar Degas: Waiting. Malibu, 1995, p. 73, fig. 48, discusses Degas's use of the pose of a seated figure leaning forward in this picture and "Victorine Dubourg" (Toledo Museum of Art), calling our figure "diffident"; observes that the posture can be read in relation to the facial expression; notes that Degas revived this pose for the clothed figure in "Waiting" (about 1880–82; J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, and Norton Simon Museum, Pasadena).

Amsterdam, 1995, pp. 132, 134, 269, no. 118, fig. 118 (color), states that this is one of the few Degas paintings which retains its original frame, a passe-partout type with a fluted outer edge and broad inner surfaces, the profile of which Degas drew in his sketchbook of 1879–82; notes that the original painted surface of the frame probably once matched the colors of the picture, but that the present thick gold coating was possibly added to conform to certain exhibition regulations.

Elizabeth Easton and Jared Bark. "'Pictures Properly Framed': Degas and Innovation in Impressionist Frames." Burlington Magazine 150 (September 2008), pp. 606–9, fig. 38 (color), remark that the original Degas frame on this picture "with a broad, flat panel bordered by a raised outer rail, is a particularly felicitous surround for a painting of a print collector, as it resembles the traditional presentation of a work on paper: a drawing or print surrounded by a mount and framed in a narrow moulding".

Erica E. Hirshler and Elliot Bostwick Davis in Kimberly A. Jones. Degas/Cassatt. Exh. cat., National Gallery of Art. Washington, 2014, pp. 131–32, note that it was the first Degas painting the Havemeyers bought after marrying.

The identity of the sitter is unknown. An oil study of the man's head (L139; collection Mme Alfred Indig, France; formerly collection Marcel Guérin) is painted over a sketch for a portrait of Giuliana Bellelli.
X-rays taken in 1987 reveal that Degas changed the positions of the figure's hands and of some of the framed items on the wall, as well as painting over a rectangular shape on the wall between the bottom of the frame and the papers on the table.
