About the piece
Painted by George Dawe for the Hermitage Museum's Military Gallery, this portrait depicts General Pyotr Bagration, a hero of the Napoleonic Wars. The work is characterized by the artist's ability to capture the luminous texture of the skin against the heavy, tactile details of the decorated military uniform and golden epaulettes.
