About the piece
Painted in 1891 by Jean-François Portaels, this portrait depicts Prince Baudouin in a dark green rifle uniform. The work exhibits the artist's masterful handling of light on the subject's face and the rich textures of the military attire, set against a moody, atmospheric backdrop from the Royal Collection of Belgium.
