This anonymous pencil drawing depicts Dr. Moriard, a defender of Louis Napoleon, who was a controversial figure in French politics. The portrait captures the subject's likeness with subtle details and a focused composition. The artist's use of pencil creates a sense of intimacy and immediacy, hinting at a quick sketch. This work, now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, provides a glimpse into a historical moment and the individuals involved in the political landscape of 19th-century France.
