Original Description
Portrait De Charles-Marin De La Haye, Fermier Général Du Roi by Alexander Roslin (1718–1793) is a striking example of 18th-century Rococo portraiture that exudes aristocratic elegance. Painted circa 1768, this full-length portrait captures the French tax collector (Fermier Général) in lavish court attire, standing confidently against a draped curtain and classical column. Roslin, a Swedish master renowned for his luminous textures and psychological depth, renders the sitter's silk brocade waistcoat and ermine-lined cape with breathtaking precision—the shimmering fabrics almost palpable under his virtuosic brushwork. As one of Louis XV's financiers, La Haye's portrait embodies Rococo's celebration of wealth and refinement, while Roslin's balanced composition—merging French sophistication with Northern European attention to detail—solidified his status among Europe's elite portraitists. This work exemplifies the transitional period between Rococo's ornamental excess and the emerging Neoclassical restraint, making it historically significant as both a societal document and artistic milestone.
For contemporary display, this masterpiece commands spaces where its grandeur can resonate. Ideal for a high-ceilinged study or formal sitting room, the 81 x 65 cm canvas benefits from a prominent placement above a Louis XV-style console table or between bookshelves in wood-toned libraries. Its rich palette of burgundy, gold, and cream pairs beautifully with warm metallic accents—consider gilded picture frames or brass table lamps to echo the painting’s Regency-era opulence. In modern minimalist offices, the portrait’s vertical format creates dynamic contrast against clean lines when hung as a focal point behind a desk. For color coordination, incorporate deep emerald or navy upholstery to complement the sitter’s robe, while muted gray walls prevent visual competition. Lighting should be soft and directional—museum-grade LED spots at 3000K will enhance Roslin’s delicate flesh tones without glare. As the artwork’s detailed textures require viewing proximity, ensure seating areas are within 6–8 feet for optimal appreciation.
