French

Claude Thomas is a French Rococo painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Bavarian State Painting Collections.

Claude Thomas painted formal portraits of 17th- and 18th-century French aristocrats in stiff lace and velvet. In our gallery you’ll find his oil on canvas Count Palatine Gustav Samuel from 1750, a life-size record of lace cuffs and powdered hair. Tap the portrait to step inside a gilded Versailles salon and compare the sitter’s stiff pose to the next work in the room.
