About the piece
Painted in 1831 by Jérôme-Martin Langlois, this formal portrait depicts the Comte de M. with striking realism and luminous detail. The subject’s direct gaze and refined attire—including a high-collared white shirt and a heavy dark coat—exemplify the polished elegance of the French Restoration period.
