Portret van Charles Lecocq before 1875

"Portret van Charles Lecocq" is a portrait of the French composer Charles Lecocq, created by Louis Désiré Dupont before 1875. The image depicts Lecocq in a formal pose, wearing a dark suit and tie. The portrait is framed within an ornate design that includes cherubs and floral elements, which points to the artwork's relation to the theater world. The small size of the piece, 124 mm by 87 mm, suggests it might have been a vignette for a magazine or publication. This artwork, which was created during Dupont's lifetime, provides a glimpse into the life and work of Charles Lecocq, one of the most famous French composers of operettas.
