About the piece
Painted in 1794 by François Sablet, this portrait captures Daniel Kervégan, the Mayor of Nantes, during the French Revolutionary period. The work is notable for its psychological depth and the bold contrast between the sitter's sombre attire and the brilliant flash of his red scarf.
