About the piece

Dating to approximately 1815, this oil-on-canvas portrait by an anonymous French master depicts the Prince of Reichstadt. The work is characteristic of the Neo-Classical period, defined by its smooth, porcelain-like skin tones, atmospheric background, and the masterfully handled ruffles of the boy's white garment, accented by a striking blue sash.
