Where to start looking
Portrait du baron Roger Portalis holds one person under steady attention. What makes it stay with you is the hands and the set of the shoulders — the parts a portrait usually rushes.
Portrait du baron Roger Portalis. Our painter follows the same logic rather than copying a photograph of it: the shadow side of the face is mixed from colour rather than grey, which is where most copies go dead.

What a print loses
A printed face is grey in the shadows, and grey is why printed portraits look dead. Skin in shadow is warm, cool, greenish by turns — a painter mixes it, a press cannot.

This one reads well above a fireplace or console, where it can hold a wall alone. Nothing gets cropped to suit a standard canvas. We build to the original's dimensions and scale from there.
Before you order
Can I resell the reproduction?
Yes. Because the underlying work is in the public domain, the hand-painted canvas is yours to sell, gift or install commercially.
Can I change something in the composition?
Often yes — background, cropping, or adapting the proportions to your wall. Tell us what you have in mind and we will say honestly whether it will work.
Does changing the size change the composition?
No — we keep the original's proportions and scale from there, rather than cropping the image to fit a standard frame.
