Portret van Auguste Hilarion, graaf van Kératry 1820 - 1821

This is a portrait of Auguste Hilarion, graaf van Kératry, a French politician, engraved by Ambroise Tardieu. The artwork was created between 1820-1821, during the Romantic period. The engraving depicts Kératry in a simple oval frame, dressed in formal attire. The artist's careful attention to detail and the subtle use of shading contribute to the realistic portrayal of the subject. The small dimensions of the print, 218mm x 137mm, highlight the intimate nature of the portrait. This engraving is a testament to Tardieu's skill as an engraver and provides a valuable glimpse into the history of portraiture in early 19th century France.
