About the piece

Painted in 1840 by Alfred de Dreux, this oil portrait depicts Augustin Grisier, a celebrated fencing master, standing confidently in a picturesque park. The work masterfully combines the dignity of formal portraiture with a detailed woodland setting, featuring the equestrian elements for which de Dreux is famously known.
