About the piece
Painted in 1785 by Carl Frederik von Breda, this striking portrait depicts the actor Saint-Ange in a costume that highlights the artist's skill with texture. The intricate lace of the ruff and the sheen of the velvet jacket contrast beautifully against a warm, atmospheric background, embodying the drama of the Enlightenment-era stage.
