EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Gaspard Meyer (1749-98) or The Man in the Red Waistcoat" painted by Jacques Louis David in 1795, captures the essence of a distinguished French politician. The subject, Gaspard Meyer, was not only a minister but also served as an envoy to Batavia (now Jakarta), Java. In this oil on canvas masterpiece measuring 116x89.5 cm and housed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, we see Meyer portrayed with utmost elegance and sophistication. He is depicted wearing a vibrant red waistcoat that catches the viewer's attention immediately. His attire reflects his status as a prominent figure of his time. Meyer's face exudes intelligence and authority as he gazes directly at the viewer. A quill pen rests delicately between his fingers, suggesting his involvement in writing important documents or perhaps even signing significant treaties during his diplomatic career. The artist has paid meticulous attention to detail; from every strand of hair within Meyer's wig to the subtle shading on his face and hands – it all adds depth and realism to this remarkable piece. As we admire this portrait today, we are transported back to an era where politics were conducted with grace and eloquence. This print serves as a reminder of Gaspard Meyer's contribution to French history while showcasing Jacques Louis David's mastery in capturing both physical likeness and inner character through brushstrokes alone.
