About the piece
Painted in 1826 by Claude-Marie Dubufe, this work is believed to depict Hassan, the guardian of the giraffe gifted to King Charles X of France. The painting showcases masterful academic technique, particularly in the delicate folds of the white turban and the rich textures of the sitter's embroidered vest, set against a dramatic, dark backdrop that emphasizes the luminous skin tones.
