"Portrait of M. Chenard," an undated lithograph by Jean Antoine Laurent, is a striking example of 19th-century portraiture. Laurent, a renowned artist active between 1763 and 1832, skillfully captured the likeness of M. Chenard with meticulous detail. The lithograph showcases a close-up view of Chenard's face and upper torso, highlighting his thoughtful expression and the textures of his clothing. The work, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies the technical mastery of lithographic printing and its ability to render fine detail and tonal variation.
