| Description |
English: Robineau was a composer and violinist as well as artist; he used the name Alexandre for his musical and Auguste for his artistic activities. He was in London a great deal in the 1780s coming into contact with the Prince of Wales in both his professional capacities. The sitter was a celebrated fencer, who also appears in OM 1050, 400636. We see him here in what must be a position of challenge or triumph as he has cast his hat to the ground and an opponents sword lies waiting to be taken up or having just been cast down. The Chevalier is holding his sword in his left hand, his right arm is outstretched as if to beckon another challenger. He wears a blue coat over a striped yellow waistcoat and breeches. Signed and dated: Robineau 1787 |
