Period: circa 1825-1830
Technique: Hand-painted miniature on porcelain. A magnified examination reveals fine brushstrokes, confirming manual execution and ruling out any printing process.
Miniature depicting a man wearing a fur-collared mantle and an embroidered garment, elements associated with public and diplomatic figures of the post-imperial period. The high stiff collar and white cravat follow the masculine fashion between 1820 and 1830, combining elegance and formality.
His hairstyle, short and combed back without a parting, reflects the neat and sober style adopted by influential men of the time, in contrast to the voluminous hairdos of the 18th century.
