About the piece
Painted in 1835 by Romain Cazes, this portrait of Louis de Planet exemplifies the refined elegance of the early 19th century. The artist employs dramatic chiaroscuro, focusing light on the sitter's face and hand while the remainder of the composition recedes into deep, moody shadows, creating a scholarly and contemplative atmosphere.
