The portrait depicts Jacques Luc Barbier-Valbonne, a renowned French painter and Revolutionary soldier, in his military uniform. Measuring 26.2 x 20.7 cm, this artwork is housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio. Isabey's masterful use of black chalk with white heightening on beige paper brings out the intricate details of Valbonne's features and attire. The artist skillfully captures Valbonne smoking a pipe, an activity associated with lower classes during that era. This unique depiction adds to the drawing's popularity as it challenges societal norms by showcasing a fashionable man engaging in such an activity.
