Il dipinto è un ritratto ad olio su tela di un ufficiale francese, realizzato con grande perizia tecnica e attenzione ai dettagli. L'opera è firmata in basso a sinistra con “J. Abel 1870”, indicando l’autore e la data di esecuzione, che colloca il lavoro nel contesto del XIX secolo, probabilmente durante o poco prima della Guerra franco-prussiana (1870-1871).

Misure: In cornice: 70 x 61/Tela 55 x 45 cm

L’uomo raffigurato indossa una divisa militare blu scuro con bottoni dorati e spalline decorative. Sul petto porta decorazioni ben riconoscibili: la Legione d’Onore, la più alta onorificenza francese, e una medaglia rossa, probabilmente un’altra onorificenza militare. Porta un kepì rosso con bordature nere e dorate, tipico della divisa francese dell’epoca.

Il suo volto è nobile e fiero, con baffi curati e un’espressione composta ma determinata. Lo sfondo è neutro e scuro, il che enfatizza il soggetto e lo separa visivamente dallo spazio circostante. Il dipinto è racchiuso in una elegante cornice ovale dorata con intagli decorativi.
