EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of commissioner of war in year IX, presumed to be Pascalis," was created by renowned French artists Nicolas Jean Baptiste Raguenet and Jacques Wilbaut in 1802. The portrait depicts a man, believed to be Felix Pascalis Ouvière, who held a significant position in the military during the French Revolution. The commissioner is shown seated, dressed in a formal military uniform, with a direct gaze that engages the viewer. The calendar on the wall behind him indicates the date of the portrait as being in the ninth year of the French Republican Calendar, which was adopted following the Revolution. The apparel of the man is meticulously rendered in the oil painting, with intricate details visible in the fabric of his military uniform and the colorful dress beneath. The canvas material is textured and the brushstrokes are visible, adding to the authenticity and heritage value of the artwork. The man holds a stack of paperwork in his hands, suggesting the importance of his job and the administrative duties that came with his military role. The portrait is a valuable addition to the collections of Musée Carnavalet in Paris, one of the city's most esteemed museums. The man's gaze, which seems to penetrate the camera, invites the viewer to consider the weight of responsibility that came with his profession during a pivotal moment in French history. The portrait is a testament to the skill and artistry of Raguenet and Wilbaut, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists within the institutions of Parisian museums.
