About the Item
Portrait of Horace Vernet by Le Gout-Gérard – 19th Century Lithograph, circa 1855
This elegant 19th-century lithograph presents a seated portrait of Horace Vernet (1789–1863), one of the most distinguished French painters of military and historical scenes in the 19th century. The sitter is portrayed in profile with his arms crossed and a composed, confident expression. His mustache and sideburns, along with his tailored coat, reflect the fashionable image of an accomplished artist and man of the world.
The lithograph was drawn by Le Gout-Gérard and published by Goupil, Vibert
Cie in Paris, with additional distribution in London by Ernest Gambart
Co. at 25 Berners Street, and in New York by Goupil, Vibert
Co. This international distribution suggests the subject’s fame and the publishers’ intent to appeal to a broad, cultured audience. The print likely dates from around 1855, when both the artist and the publisher were active and well established.
Horace Vernet came from a family of painters and was known for his dynamic and detailed battle scenes, Orientalist works, and royal commissions. He served as director of the French Academy in Rome and maintained close ties with both military and political elites. This portrait captures his reputation for self-possession, professionalism, and refined style.
Rendered in the medium of lithography, the image showcases careful gradation of tone and finely modeled features. Lithography was the leading reproductive technique in the mid-19th century, prized for its ability to convey expressive detail and texture, especially in portraiture.
This print would appeal to collectors of French art history, academic portraiture, and 19th-century lithography. It also offers value as a historical document of one of France’s most prominent painters during a transformative period in European art.
Condition report:
The lithograph is in very good condition. The image area is crisp, with strong contrasts and delicate detail. The wide margins are mostly clean, with a few faint spots of foxing and light age wear near the lower right. The sheet is untrimmed and remains in its original presentation format.
Framing suggestions:
For a distinguished and classic look, frame this piece in a dark wood or ebonized frame with a thin gilt inner edge. Use a warm white or soft cream-colored mat to offset the lightness of the paper and emphasize the detail of the lithograph. UV-protective glass is recommended to ensure the long-term preservation of the work. Ideal for study rooms, libraries, or collections focused on artists, 19th-century France, or historical portraiture.
