Description

Property from a European Private Collection


French School, circa 1760

Portrait of a man wearing a velvet brown jacket and a lace Jabot


pastel

650 by 540 mm

Sale, London, Sotheby's, 6 July 2023, lot 117

This fine and elegant pastel of a gentleman in a brown velvet jacket and lace Jabot is stylistically similar to the work of Louis Vigée (1715-1767).


We are most grateful to Neil Jeffares, who, from a digital image, has suggested a date of circa 1760 and has remarked that the handling is close to some of Louis Vigée's work.
