DESCRIPTION: This lithographic portrait presents Maximilien Robespierre, a central and controversial figure of the French Revolution, depicted in bust-length, turned slightly to the right while gazing directly at the viewer. He is shown wearing a powdered wig and cravat, rendered with fine detail and restraint. The image is based on a design by Henri Grevedon and printed by Francois-Seraphin Delpech, a leading lithographer in early 19th-century France. Created in 1824, three decades after Robespierre's fall during the Reign of Terror, the portrait reflects a post-revolutionary interest in revisiting the likenesses of key revolutionary figures. Delpech’s lithographic technique lends a subtle tonal quality that enhances the solemnity and historical weight of the sitter.

CONDITION: Good condition, scattered foxing in the margins. Beautiful and clear image.
