Portret van Jean-Jacques Rousseau, gezeten in een tuin 1824

Hippolyte Huet's 1824 "Portret van Jean-Jacques Rousseau, gezeten in een tuin" is a portrait of the famous philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The lithograph portrays Rousseau seated in a lush garden setting, dressed in a formal outfit, his eyes closed and his head tilted back, suggesting a state of deep thought or contemplation. The work captures Rousseau's intellectual and contemplative nature, and the verdant surroundings emphasize his connection to the natural world. The inscription at the bottom identifies the artist and the subject, making it a valuable historical and artistic artifact.
