Prince Joseph Anthony Poniatowski, Marshal of France
Not on view
The lateral break, darkened by the shellac used to adhere it to a glass backing, does not diminish the force or freshness of this slightly asymmetrical portrait of the valorous Polish prince Józef Antoni Poniatowski (1763–1813), a commander in Napoleon’s army who was named marshal of France just before he died protecting the army’s retreat after the Battle of Leipzig.
