About the piece
Painted in 1847 by French artist Victor Mottez, this striking portrait depicts Édouard Caillard. The subject is shown in a formal black coat and crisp white waistcoat, set against a rich, atmospheric red background that provides a sophisticated contrast to his dignified expression and dark features.
