Portrait of Jean-Étienne Liotard 1700 - 1800

This anonymous portrait of Jean-Étienne Liotard, a prominent Swiss painter of the 18th century, is a delicate watercolor on paper. The artist has captured Liotard in a simple yet elegant pose, standing in a red robe and white trousers, with a long white beard, and a red cap, characteristic of his style. The work is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
