About the piece
Painted in 1842 by Auguste Roquemont, this formal portrait depicts José Máximo Coelho Falcão seated with a young child. The composition is uniquely anchored by a large, characterful dog in the foreground, while the background reveals a sweeping, atmospheric landscape under a soft, cloudy sky. It is a masterful example of mid-19th-century European portraiture that balances formal dignity with domestic warmth.
