About the piece
Captured around 1890, this striking portrait by Carolus-Duran depicts Marguerite and Robert de Broglie with a sophisticated sense of light and texture. The composition utilizes a rich crimson background to create a dramatic contrast with the children's formal dark attire and the soft light of their complexions, showcasing the artist's renown as a premier portraitist of the Belle Époque.
