About the piece
Painted in 1802 by Jacques Wilbaut, this formal portrait depicts a 'commissaire des guerres' (war commissioner) from the early Napoleonic era. The sitter’s steady gaze and the rich contrast between his dark navy coat and vibrant red collar exemplify the refined portraiture of the French school. With its atmospheric lighting and scholarly tone, this piece offers a sophisticated presence for traditional or academic spaces.
