EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 18th century portrait captures the essence of a young peasant, likely born and raised in the French countryside between 1790 and 1810. The young man, dressed in the traditional clothing of the time, wears a simple linen shirt, a coarse woolen jacket, and a bassetaille hat adorned with a copper band. His clothing, though worn and faded, reflects the practical nature of his agricultural work. The circular enamel portrait, executed in the email metal technique, adds an intriguing dimension to the image, with its vibrant colors and intricate details. The artist masterfully captures the young man's profile, revealing a strong jawline, deep-set eyes, and a thoughtful expression. The peasant's occupation is evident in the tools and implements depicted in the background, including a pitchfork, a scythe, and a plow. The setting, with its rolling hills and verdant fields, further emphasizes his connection to the land. This poignant portrait offers a glimpse into the daily life and fashion of rural France during the late 18th century. It is a reminder of the hard work and dedication required for agricultural labor during this period, and a testament to the enduring appeal of heritage art. The portrait is part of the esteemed collection of the Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, one of the city's most renowned museums, and a treasure trove of historical and artistic treasures. This enigmatic image of a young peasant invites us to reflect on the rich history and cultural heritage of France during the 18th century.
