About the piece
Painted in 1851 by Annette Coppée, this evocative portrait depicts the young François Coppée at the age of nine. Set against a moody Parisian landscape featuring the silhouette of Les Invalides, the work combines formal classical portraiture with a romantic, atmospheric background typical of the mid-19th century.
