This portrait, with a face treated with extreme accuracy and finesse of expression, is certainly the work of an artist with excellent mastery of his art, a student or an entourage of the painter Jacques-Louis David. The outfit, whose high turned-up collar remains in the fashion of the Consulate, is decorated with buttons decorated with fleurs-de-lys, forcing us to date this painting to the beginning of the Monarchical Restoration. Also note the subtlety of the posture, because is the right hand, which the model hides in his frock coat, by chance, a reference to the Emperor?
