Portret van Lazare Carnot 1818 - 1842

This lithograph, created between 1818 and 1842 by French artist Jean-Baptiste Mauzaisse, is a portrait of Lazare Carnot, a prominent French military and political figure. The portrait depicts Carnot in a close-up, with his face and upper torso filling the frame. He is wearing a dark jacket and a white cravat, and his expression is serious and contemplative. This work is a fine example of the Neoclassical style, emphasizing clarity and precision in its execution, and reflecting the historical and political climate of the early 19th century. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
