EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pastel portrait of Louis Philippe, created around 1797 by the talented artist James Sharples. The artwork, displayed in Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, depicts a young Louis Philippe at approximately twenty-four years old. This remarkable piece captures the essence of the future King of France (1830-1848) during his early years. The framed drawing, executed on grey paper with vibrant colors, portrays Louis Philippe's dignified presence and regal aura. His piercing gaze and composed expression reveal a sense of determination that would later shape his reign as king. Interestingly, another portrait of Louis Philippe drawn by Ellen Sharples can be found under reference Mb801.064. Louis Philippe's life took an unexpected turn when he was deposed during the revolution in 1848 and subsequently exiled to England. However, this exquisite artwork immortalizes him at a time when his destiny as monarch seemed promising. Bristol Museums, Galleries & Archives acquired this masterpiece in 1931 for public enjoyment and appreciation. As an out-of-copyright image from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, it continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide without any commercial implications. This print serves as a timeless tribute to one of history's notable figures – capturing both the artistic brilliance of James Sharples and the enigmatic allure of Louis Philippe himself.
