Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: French School circa 1760
Portrait of the Count of Astorg Oil on canvas 60,5 x 50 cm ; 23⅞ by 19¾ in. This engaging portrait is of magnificent quality and in very fine condition, but its attribution remains a mystery. The names of Roslin, Drouais, Louis-Michel Vanloo and finally Louis Tocqué have been proposed, but the painting cannot be ascribed with confidence to any of them. The identification of the model with the Comte d’Astorg is based on an old inscription, partly erased, which can be seen on the frame’s upper crosspiece. If it is to be believed, this could be a portrayal of Jacques Pierre Prothade Hippolyte, Count of Astorg, born in 1759, which would suggest that the portrait might date to about 1770.Français : Ecole française vers 1760
Portrait du comte d'Astorg Huile sur toile 60,5 x 50 cm ; 23⅞ by 19¾ in. Ce séduisant portrait, d’une magnifique qualité et en très bel état de conservation, garde une part de son mystère quant à son attribution. Les noms de Roslin, de Drouais, de Louis-Michel Vanloo et enfin de Louis Tocqué ont été avancés, sans que l’on puisse le donner avec certitude à l’un ou l’autre de ces artistes. L’identification du modèle avec le comte d’Astorg se base sur une inscription ancienne, partiellement effacée, visible sur la traverse supérieure du châssis. Si foi devait lui être accordée, il pourrait peut-être s’agir de Jacques Pierre Prothade Hippolyte, comte d'Astorg, né en 1759, ce qui pousserait à dater le portrait plutôt vers 1770. |
