Portrait of Louis-Auguste Schwiter
Portrait of Louis-Auguste Schwiter is an oil painting on canvas executed in 1826–27 by Eugène Delacroix. The subject, who was the son of Henri César Auguste Schwiter, was a friend of the artist. The painting was an early attempt by Delacroix to combine portraiture with landscape painting.[1]
The portrait was once owned by Edgar Degas and was acquired in 1918 by the National Gallery, London, where it still hangs.[2]
