This portrait of a man, typical of the French school of the early 19th century, presents a model with a calm and confident gaze, dressed in a dark jacket witha wide collar over a white shirt. The careful craftsmanship, the subtle play of light on the face and the neutral background emphasizes the personality of thesubject, in a realistic and elegant tradition specific to the artistic period in question. The whole testifies to the taste for intimate portraits, intended for the private sphere, then in vogue in French society at the end of the Empire or the beginning of the Restoration.
