Bourbon Restoration portrait of French man. Dating from c. 1825, this handsome oil on canvas painting depicts a *homme bourgeois* displaying all the earmarks of the of the less-militaristic, more-business-minded style of the period following the departure of Napoleon. He wears a sumptuous double-breasted jacket with a white waistcoat and cravat a la Beau Brummell, his hair brushed forward in the neo-Roman style made fashionable by the French Revolution. A posthumous label on the reverse identifies the sitter, who died in 1846. The frame is modern but does’t look at all discordant with the painting.
