About the piece

Dated to 1813, this oil portrait captures a young man, often identified as a prince, in a moment of dignified repose. The composition is defined by the rich textures of his formal attire, contrasting a delicate lace collar and light blue sash against the heavy, vibrant red of an ermine-trimmed cloak.
