About the piece

Attributed to H. Lefèvre and dated to 1792, this portrait captures the refined aesthetic of the late 18th century. The sitter, dressed in a rich brown coat with decorative buttons and a lace cravat, sits in a moody, atmospheric interior that highlights the textures of his wig and the documents before him.
