About the piece
Painted in 1793 by Adèle Romany, this oil portrait depicts the legendary French dancer Auguste Vestris. Clad in a stylish dark jacket, fur hat, and holding a bamboo walking stick, Vestris is captured in a moments of quiet confidence against an atmospheric twilight landscape that highlights his luminous features.
