Portret van Nicolas Jean-de-Dieu Soult c. 1823 - 1850

This lithograph, created by Charles Billoin between 1823 and 1850, depicts a portrait of Nicolas Jean-de-Dieu Soult, a prominent French military leader. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Soult’s likeness in a classic, formal pose, emphasizing his status and importance. The detail in the lithograph, visible in the folds of his clothing and the subtle shading on his face, demonstrates Billoin’s skill as an artist and his ability to capture the subject’s personality.
