1770 -1825 · Family, society and neoclassical truth
In his portraits, David suspends the rhetoric of history: gaze, hands, clothing and furniture are enough to make a person socially situated and psychologically present.
Jacques-Louis David dominates the history painting of his time, but the portrait constitutes the most continuous and sometimes the freest part of his work. He paints parents, in-laws, friends, scholars, women of society and actors of successive regimes. The neoclassical drawing retains great clarity, without reducing the models to types. Émilie Sériziat and her son appear in a lively exchange where gestures, flowers and clothes express family intimacy.
