About the piece
Created in 1739 by Louis Tocqué, this masterwork captures a young officer in the height of Rococo style. The sitter's blue velvet coat is lavishly adorned with gold embroidery, contrasted by a bold red mantle. Tocqué's ability to render the play of light on different fabrics makes this a striking example of 18th-century European portraiture.
