Louis Charles De Saulces De Freycinet 1880

Achille D'Orsi's 1880 portrait of Louis Charles De Saulces De Freycinet exemplifies the realist style popular in 19th-century European art. The painting captures De Freycinet in a formal pose, seated and gazing directly at the viewer. D'Orsi's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the subject's clothing, the ornate chair, and the richly colored background. This portrait serves as a testament to the artist's skill in rendering likenesses with a level of realism that was highly valued during this period. The image exemplifies the social realism trend of the late 19th century.
