About the piece
Painted in 1885 by Théobald Chartran, this striking oil on wood portrait depicts Louis Delaunay, a renowned actor of the Comédie Française. The subject is rendered with masterful realism, his thoughtful expression contrasted by the bold, textured red background and the deep tones of his formal attire, complete with a small red ribbon on his lapel.
