About the piece
Léon Comerre’s 1896 portrait depicts the French actor Raphaël Duflos in the role of Don Carlos from Victor Hugo's 'Hernani'. The work showcases the artist's skill in rendering textures, from the intricate gold embroidery and heavy ceremonial chain to the soft translucency of the ruff and the velvet of the hat, all set against a subtle damask background.
