About the piece
This 1796 portrait by Marie-Geneviève Bouliard depicts Alexandre Lenoir, the founder of the Musée des Monuments Français. Lenoir is shown in a contemplative pose, wearing a fashionable black hat and a vibrant yellow silk cravat that provides a brilliant contrast to his dark coat and the moody background.
