About this work

This painting shows a man, Charles Alexandre de Montgon, in a formal pose. He's wearing fancy clothes and has a calm face. The artist copied this from another painting by Huber, which is an interesting fact about this work - it's not an original idea, but rather an interpretation of someone else's art, and this tells us about the artistic practices of the time. You can learn more about the artist who made this, Tanjé, Pieter, (1701-1761).
