From the collection of Palace of Versailles
Marshal Thomas Bugeaud (1784-1849), duc d'Isly, maréchal de France is a 1843 oil by Charles-Philippe Larivière, held at Palace of Versailles.
This portrait depicts a man in a military uniform, standing in a desert landscape with a mountain range in the background. He wears a black jacket with gold epaulets and buttons, a red sash across his chest, and brown pants with a black stripe down the side. In his right hand, he holds a sword with a gold hilt. The man's white hair is styled in a short, neat fashion, and he looks directly at the viewer with a serious expression. The background of the painting features a blue sky with clouds, and a group of people can be seen in the distance, gathered around a tent. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject.
