About the piece
Painted in 1885 by Théobald Chartran, this portrait depicts the French actor Louis Delaunay in the role of Perdican. The work demonstrates Chartran's refined painterly technique, contrasting the sharp, expressive features of the sitter's face with a looser, more atmospheric treatment of the costume and background.
