EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Equestrian self portrait" by Louis Lejeune, a renowned French artist from the 19th century. Painted between 1806 and 1808, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 46 x 56.3 cm and is currently housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Strasbourg, France. In this self-portrait, Lejeune presents himself as an aide-de-camp to Marechal Berthier, prince de Neuchatel. Dressed in a striking uniform complete with a shako adorned with a plume and carrying a sword or sabre at his side, he exudes confidence and authority. The background of the painting depicts the serene lake of Neuchatel, adding depth to the composition. Lejeune's attention to detail is evident not only in his own portrayal but also in capturing his majestic horse adorned with leopard skin trappings. The flamboyant nature of both rider and steed creates an atmosphere of grandeur and power. This equestrian self-portrait serves as a testament to Lejeune's skill as both an artist and soldier during the Napoleonic era. It offers viewers a glimpse into history while showcasing his talent for capturing movement and emotion on canvas.
