Jacques-Louis David, Portrait of François-Antoine Rasse de Gavre, 1816.
Jacques-Louis David, Portrait of François-Antoine Rasse de Gavre, 1816. The sitter's father may have commissioned this portrait from David out of sympathy for the exiled painter. The boy was sixteen years old when the portrait was painted, and although his clothes are elegant and stylish, his untidy hair and his wispy moustache hint at his youth. Oil on canvas.
