About the piece

Painted in 1866 by Charles Jalabert, this portrait of Henri d’Orléans, Duc d’Aumale, is a masterclass in 19th-century academic realism. The composition emphasizes the sitter's calm and authoritative presence, using a moody, dark background to create a sharp contrast that draws the viewer's eye to the sitter's expression and formal attire.
