Charles Pierre Colardeau is a 1777 chalk by Thérèse-Éléonore Lingée, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a portrait of a man with curly hair and a high collar, drawn in a warm brown tone. His face is turned slightly to the side, and the background is plain except for a decorative oval frame. Below the portrait, there’s text in French naming him and giving some dates. The artist used a technique that makes the shading look soft and layered, almost like a sketch. This style was common in the late 1700s. Look up Lingée, Thérèse-Éléonore to see more of her work.
