About the piece
This masterful 1850 oil painting by Joseph Nicolas Jouy depicts Jean-Baptiste-Jules Bernadotte, the future King of Sweden and Marshal of France. Clad in a prestigious military uniform with elaborate gold embroidery and a vibrant yellow sash, he stands commandingly beside a cannon with a distant cavalry engagement visible in the rugged landscape.
