Description: | Signed: yes Description: Head and shoulders portrait of Chateaubriand in three-quarter profile against a buff background. He has dark, curling hair worn in long ringlets at the sides and wears dark green drapery over a crisp, white shirt. Chateaubriand does not meet the viewer's eye but looks toward the left as he does in Girodet's later portrait of 1809. The date of 1791 means that this portrait would have been painted before Chateaubriand sailed for America that year to escape the French Revolution, aged twenty-three. | Subjects: | François René de ) portrait (Chateaubriand | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Girodet de Roucy-Trioson, Anne-Louis (French painter and illustrator, 1767-1824) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8556... | Go to resource |
