Description: | This French portrait of an unknown officer shows the sitter in a typical pose, with his right arm akimbo and his left hand resting on his helmet, which is placed on top of a covered table. He wears a tall, powdered wig, which although the height of fashion, seems strangely incongruous with his armour and the overall martial mood of the painting. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to circle of Belle, Alexis-Simon (French painter, 1674-1734) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8573... | Go to resource |
