This pretty good-sized portrait painted in miniature on ivory represents a young man, General Kléber (1753/1800), with his Napoleonic officer's frock coat and scarf
painted by Nel (signed on the right side) in its oval frame in chiseled gilded bronze; this portrait emanates and is in good original condition with fresh colors in a delicate tone. This piece
from the Empire period is unusual (see the portrait in the drawing of the Paul Getty Museum)
