Lot Description
[REVOLUTIONARY WAR]. LAFAYETTE, Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Maquis de (1757-1834). Ink and watercolor portrait of Marquis de Lafayette.
Ink and watercolor portrait of the Marquis de Lafayette, 1793, sheet 8 7/8 x 12 3/4 in., framed to 17 x 21 1/8 in., not examined out of frame. Signed "T.B." and dated 1793.
Rendered during the Marquis de Lafayette's imprisonment by Austrian forces after radical factions in France ordered his arrest. The Marquis is rendered in profile wearing a blue uniform with epaulettes, surrounded by decorative borders, and labeled "Lafayette". Please see Lot 410 for a companion drawing of Charlotte Corday, suggesting the portraits were by an anti-Jacobin/radical artist.
