Roussin, Albin 1842

This portrait, painted in 1842 by Charles-Philippe Larivière, depicts Albin Roussin in full naval uniform. The artist was known for his refined style, captured here in the detailed rendering of the subject’s clothing and the subtle light that illuminates the scene. Roussin’s serious expression and the background, suggesting a ship’s deck, underscore his distinguished naval career and status. The painting, measuring a substantial 215 x 115 cm, commands attention with its imposing size and the realistic portrayal of the subject. This work offers a glimpse into the life of an important figure in French naval history.
