About the piece
Painted around 1820 by Pierre-Roch Vigneron, this portrait depicts the French general and statesman Maximilien Sébastien Foy. The work is characterized by its sophisticated chiaroscuro and the sitter's intelligent, forward-looking gaze, accented by the formal military attire of the Restoration era. The fine age-related craquelure across the surface adds a layer of authentic heritage character to the piece.
