About the Item
18th century oval portrait oil on canvas of an aristocrat
The individual with the mischievous look wears a highly voluminous powdered starch hairdo.
An earring on his ear is a rare example of coquetry in a picture.
His corner smile and brave cheekbones distinguish the character.
The eighteenth century is an era of grace.
We have never seen men and women so properly prepared throughout history.
The extravagant display was consistent with the rococo aesthetic.
Powdered hairstyles became fashionable among males in the 17th century, under the reign of Louis14, the Sun King.
At the period, France ruled fashion, and its influence expanded to other countries.
This gentleman reflects the entirety of the Grand Siecle's aesthetic and sophistical movement.
