拍品专文
These portraits depict Vittorio Emanuele I (1759-1824), Duke of Savoy and King of Sardinia, wearing a medal of the order of the Santissima Annunziata. The work appears to be after an oil painting by Luigi Bernero (1733-1821), who was one of the leading portraitists of the Savoy court. There is a pastel version of the portrait in Rome, at the palazzo del Quirinale (N. Jeffares, Dictionary of pastellists, online edition, J.148.11).
