Portret van de kunstenaar Léon Cogniet 1818 - 1885

This lithograph, created by Édouard Taurel in 1818, is a portrait of the French artist Léon Cogniet. It depicts Cogniet in profile, wearing glasses and a coat, with his hair styled in a fashionable way. The detail of the artist's signature at the bottom, alongside the inscription "Cogniet a Taurel, Rome 1818," suggests a personal connection between the two artists. The print is an example of 19th-century portraiture, demonstrating the artistic techniques and sensibilities of the time.
