EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print depicts John Law, a Scottish financier and financial controller in France during the 18th century. Painted by Casimir Balthazar in 1843, this oil on canvas artwork captures Law's intriguing personality and historical significance. Law is famously known for his involvement in the bankruptcy of 1720, which had far-reaching consequences on the French economy. This painting beautifully portrays his face, showcasing his sharp features and intense gaze. The artist pays attention to detail, highlighting Law's distinguished hairpiece that was popular during that era. The portrait offers a glimpse into Law's complex character as he navigated the world of finance and power.
