The Cavalier
Meet the ultimate 17th-century swagger king, dressed to the nines in a vibrant red doublet, breeches, and knee-high leather boots. Frédéric Soulacroix captures the essence of Romanticism here, romanticizing the dashing, sword-wielding cavalier of old against a backdrop of rich velvet drapes and a checkered floor. With his hand casually resting on his hip and a rapier pointing to the ground, this guy looks like he just stepped out of an Alexandre Dumas novel, ready for a duel or a dance. It's the kind of historical fantasy that makes you want to grab a feathered hat and join the party.
