EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating portrait captured by the talented artist Carmontelle. In this exquisite black lead, red chalk, and watercolor print heightened with white, we are transported back to the late eighteenth century.

The attention to detail in his attire is remarkable - from the intricate embroidery on his jacket to the fine craftsmanship of his coat. The artist's skillful use of color brings life to this historic moment. The golden hues of sunlight dance upon the water while casting a warm glow upon the Duke's self-assured expression. His hair shines brightly against the backdrop of an azure sky. This artwork not only captures a specific moment in time but also reflects the artistic prowess and creativity prevalent during this period. It serves as a testament to Carmontelle's ability to capture both physical likeness and inner confidence through his masterful strokes. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of an era when military rank held great significance and European royalty reigned supreme.
