Jean Joseph Grateloup n.d.

This portrait, by French artist Jean-Baptiste de Grateloup, depicts his brother Jean Joseph Grateloup. It is a simple yet refined example of a portrait in an oval frame, framed by a series of rectangular frames in black, pink, and green. The detailed use of a color palette of browns and grays emphasizes the subject's features and creates a sense of depth. This artwork is an intimate portrayal of a private individual, demonstrating the artist's skill in capturing likeness and personality through subtle lines and shading. It currently resides in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
