Portrait of M. Chenard n.d.

Jean Antoine Laurent, a French artist, created a portrait of M. Chenard. The drawing is a detailed depiction of the subject's face and upper torso. The artist employed a delicate and precise technique, capturing the subtle nuances of the sitter's features. This graphite drawing is now part of the Art Institute of Chicago's collection. The work is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing likeness and conveying character through a minimalist approach. It offers a glimpse into the aesthetic sensibilities of the early 19th century.
