About the piece
Painted in 1838, this early work by Ford Madox Brown captures Armand Lateur in a formal, scholarly setting. The subject is depicted with refined poise, holding a fencing foil while leaning near a table laden with academic symbols like books and anatomical diagrams, reflecting the intellectual and athletic pursuits of the era.
