Portret van generaal Charles Pichegru 1795

Charles Howard Hodges' 1795 print, "Portret van generaal Charles Pichegru", depicts the French general in a formal portrait style. Pichegru, a pivotal figure in the French Revolutionary Wars, is presented in a military uniform with a focused expression, emphasizing his stature and authority. The artwork uses chiaroscuro, a technique of contrasting light and dark, to accentuate Pichegru's features and lend a sense of depth to the portrait. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the figure and the tumultuous era of the French Revolution.
