Zes portretten van leden van het Franse parlement c. 1827

"Zes portretten van leden van het Franse parlement" (Six Portraits of Members of the French Parliament), created by L. Desmarais around 1827, is a lithograph depicting six men in formal attire. The portraiture style of the artwork is likely rooted in Neoclassical aesthetics, with emphasis on idealized features and a focus on capturing the likenesses of the individuals portrayed. This work would have likely been intended for a public audience, serving as a visual record of the prominent figures of French politics during the period. The black and white format of the lithograph further adds to the solemnity and historical significance of the piece.
