About the piece
Painted in 1734 by the celebrated French portraitist Jean-Marc Nattier, this work depicts Monsieur Sarasin with the characteristic refinement of the Rococo period. The striking contrast between the deep brown waistcoat and the luminous red cloak, paired with the meticulously rendered powdered wig, creates a commanding and dignified presence for a classic interior.
