General Louis-Étienne Dulong de Rosnay

1818
Not on view
Ingres’s portrait of Dulong de Rosnay is exceptional in its detailed recording of the sitter’s dress and accessories—areas the artist usually treated in a summary manner. This specificity is appropriate, as Dulong de Rosnay’s identity and rank (a decorated general, he was later named Baron de l’Empire) are expressed through his attire. His military uniform and the medallions that emblazon his chest signal his valor and service to the empire of Napoleon I, while his sword and arm sling tell of the brave battles he fought and the wounds he endured.
