Armand Bertin

1842

Not on view

Armand Bertin, son of the powerful press baron Louis-François Bertin, whom Ingres immortalized in his famous portrait of 1832 (at the Louvre), possesses the same imposing girth as his father but a much gentler demeanor. Appearing caught in conversation, he holds a top hat (the perspective of which looks oddly distorted) in one hand and a walking cane in the other. The drawing is dedicated to the sitter's wife, whose companion portrait Ingres also drew (2012.150.14).
