This anonymous portrait of Jean-Baptiste Rousseau, a French poet and playwright, is a striking example of 19th-century portraiture. Created between 1828 and 1870, the piece features a detailed etching of Rousseau's likeness within an ornate frame, highlighting his powdered wig and serious expression. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the artwork stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of this influential figure.
