About the piece
Painted in 1867, this masterful oil on panel portrait by Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier depicts Jules Pelletier in high-status robes lined with fur and a delicate lace jabot. Meissonier’s celebrated precision is evident in the meticulous rendering of textures—from the softness of the white fur to the intricate lace and the metallic sheen of the honorary medal—all set against a rich, dark mahogany-toned background.
