About the piece
Created in 1781, this masterful portrait by Étienne Aubry depicts the painter Étienne Jeaurat in a moment of relaxed, informal warmth. The subject's bohemian attire—a white turban-like cap and a vibrant red scarf—gives the work a unique, personal character that departs from the stiff formality of the era's official portraits.
