"Portrait Of A Man XIX Pair De France "
INTRIGUED BY THE JACKET EMBROIDERED WITH FLEUR-DE-LYS, I FELL INTO THIS BEAUTIFUL PORTRAIT, VERY CERTAINLY FROM THE CHARLES X PERIOD. THE COUNT OF ARTOIS HAD INTRODUCED THE SILVER FLEUR-DE-LYS MEDAL TO DECORATE THE MILITARY OF THE NATIONAL GUARD. SO WHAT WAS THE POSITION OF THIS MAN DRESSED LIKE THIS, SEATED IN A ARMCHAIR WITH CROSSES? THE RESEMBLANCE WITH THE DUKE OF BERRY IS DISTURBING, BUT PERHAPS IT IS SIMPLY THE FASHION OF BACCHANTES AND LOCKS ORIENTED TOWARDS THE FOREHEAD... THE CANVAS IS INTACT AND HAS THE CANVAS MERCHANT'S STAMP. DIMENSIONS WITH FRAME 85 x 71 cm
