Portrait of a Man Watercolour on ivory, 5 cm diam., by Fanny Lasnier, 1814 Private collection |
||||||||||
| Such pieces from the French Restoration period document a transitional moment in portraiture, illustrating the shift toward Romantic sensibilities and away from neoclassical ideals. This portrait presents the subject's respectability, social standing, and adherence to the restrained, formal decorum that characterised the post-Napoleonic French elite and bourgeoisie. |
