About the piece
Painted in 1788 by Jean-Baptiste Frédéric Desmarais, this portrait depicts the sculptor Antoine-Denis Chaudet in an introspective pose. Dressed in a rich green coat and resting against a stone block with a classical statuette, the subject embodies the scholarly and moody aesthetic of the late 18th-century Neoclassical period.
