About the piece
Painted in 1838 by Angélique Mongez, this formal oil portrait depicts Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin in a contemplative pose. The work showcases the meticulous technique of the late Neoclassical tradition, featuring smooth transitions of light across the sitter's face and a scholarly atmosphere created by the desk elements and paneled background.
