About the piece
Painted in 1758 by the celebrated portraitist François-Hubert Drouais, this work depicts the young Comte and Chevalier de Choiseul. The brothers are playfully costumed as 'Savoyards,' itinerant street performers from the Alps, accompanied by a hurdy-gurdy and a faithful black dog. The piece is a hallmark of French Rococo style, showcasing luminous skin tones and intricate textures.
