A superb miniature portrait of a French officer from the Revolutionary period, dating from the closing years of the 18th century.

The young officer is portrayed in a dark blue military coat with a high white cravat, characteristic of the fashions of Revolutionary France. The portrait is sensitively executed, with particularly fine treatment of the face, hair and uniform details, and is presented within a gilt oval surround and dark wooden frame.

A very attractive and well-preserved military portrait miniature from one of the most transformative periods of French history.
