    French School of the 18th century, portrait of an aristocrat wearing a red English-style outfit with a blue collar, decorated with silver buttons simulating basketry, a very fine lace tie. The wig was fashionable at the very end of the Louis XVI or Directory era. Posing in three-quarter view, our handsome man also wears a gold earring. The oval-sized oil on canvas portrait is presented in its original molded oak frame gilded with fine gold, with its original wrought iron ring. Late 18th century, 1790s.

    Beautiful painting, very well executed, the subject is a handsome man, the red jacket creates a very colorful effect.

    The presence of the earring remains a mystery that is still poorly explained: it was fashionable at the very end of the 18th century, including even the highest social classes (we find portraits of Louis XVI, the Marquis de Lafayette, of Axel de Fersen with a gold ring). The imagination often associates it with that of sailors, (with two possible interpretations: to mean that the sailor has traveled a lot, and in particular crossed the equator, or to serve to pay for a decent grave in the event that the sailor perishes far from home him), or as a sign of recognition of a caste like that of Freemasonry of the 18th century, or quite simply a coquetry, a fashion in high society at the very end of the 18th century.

    Very good condition, on its original canvas, portrait and frame have been cleaned.
