Produced in 1823, the work captures the subject in a formal bust-length pose, reflecting the conventions of early nineteenth-century portraiture. Lecler employs the lithographic medium to achieve a soft, tonal quality, particularly in the rendering of the subject's features and the subtle shading around the collar and lapels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerier is shown wearing a high-collared coat with decorative embroidery, a style consistent with the formal attire of the period. His gaze is directed towards the viewer, conveying a sense of composure and authority. The artist uses fine, hatched lines to define the contours of the face and the texture of the hair, while the background remains largely unadorned to focus attention on the sitter. The print includes the name of the subject inscribed below the image, a common practice for portrait prints intended for circulation or documentation during this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a lithograph, this piece demonstrates the technical capabilities of the medium during its early adoption in France. Lecler, known for his work in this field, manages to balance the precision of line work with the atmospheric potential of lithographic stone. The composition is balanced and restrained, adhering to the aesthetic principles of the time. This print serves as a historical record of a figure who occupied a position of influence in French society, providing a visual account of his appearance and status. The work is a clear example of the portraiture style that flourished in the early 1800s, where the focus remained on the individual's character and social standing through careful, measured representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portret-van-louise-demandre-met-haar-kinderen-fredi-en-joseph-anthony-lemercier-cie\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortret van Louise Demandre met haar kinderen Frédi en Joseph Anthony - Lemercier \u0026amp; Cie. — Lemercier \u0026amp; Cie.\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portret-van-charlotte-van-bourbon-gerhardus-fredericus-eilbracht\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortret van Charlotte van Bourbon - Gerhardus Fredericus Eilbracht — Gerhardus Fredericus Eilbracht\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Auguste Toussaint Lecler","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58760592064847,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58760598061391,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58760598094159,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58760598126927,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58760598159695,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58760598192463,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58760598225231,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58760598257999,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58760598290767,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58760598323535,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58760598356303,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58760598389071,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-Casimir-Pierre-Perier_Poster_CompositorV1_1789254146987.jpg?v=1789254592","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/portrait-of-casimir-pierre-perier-auguste-toussaint-lecler","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
