Duc de Chartres

French 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person dressed in a traditional military uniform. The individual is standing upright, with the body slightly angled and holding onto a long rifle that rests on the floor, with both hands clasped at the front. The person has youthful facial features with short hair mostly obscured by the military cap. The uniform they are wearing includes a long coat, with a belt around the waist, and a cap featuring insignia on the front. A backpack is visible over the shoulders. The background of the photo includes a railing with ornate balusters, set against a plain, softly lit wall.
