Description: | This man's muslin cravat is very different from what such accessories had been under Louis XVI's reign. It is a large square of cloth folded diagonally, then wrapped around the neck and tied simply with a knot. His clothing, in dark, discreet colours, is very much in keeping with the styles worn by men under the First Empire, as clothing styles after the Revolution became much simpler. He wore either breeches or trousers tucked into high boots. The wig, associated with the monarchy, has disappeared, so the man's own hair is on show. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8940... | Go to resource |
