This wonderful little late Victorian piece of art is an early coloured photograph. . . but not, read on! 
Before the advent of colour photography people wanted their photographs to look real and lifelike rather than black-and-white photographs as had been the way, so artists would overpaint the black-and-white photograph with oils and bring them to life with colour. 
This is a fabulous example of that with a lovely chap and his chair as the subject.
