You may think your family has nothing in common with that of Antoine-Georges François de Chabaud-Latour, until you look at the boy. Plus ça change. This 1806 oil on canvas portrait hangs in the Main Gallery. The portrait is situated in the landscape of Nîmes in southern France, home to both the artist, Jacques-Luc Barbier-Walbonne, and the family.
Regular museum hours: 10am to 5pm.
Free admission, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, October 18, 19, 20, RISD Museum, 20 North Main Street, (directions)
