Monsieur Gest by Alexandre Dubois-Drahonet, 1819
Portrait of Monsieur Gest, by the little-known artist Alexandre Dubois-Drahonet, illustrates the onset of the Romantic revolution: The tempestuous hairstyle and pallid languor of the sitter, which contrast with the bright emerald of his cloak, are traits commonly associated with the Romantic style.
