"description": "This double portrait depicts two brothers dressed in the height of fashion for the 1850s, clearly asserting their social status. Jean-Baptiste (left, age 23) carries gloves and a walking stick. Ren\u00e9-Charles (right, age 25) wears an embroidered black velvet suit in the exotic \u00e0 la grecque mode (in the Greek style) inspired by the Greek war of independence (1821\u201332). Flandrin represents the figures in an academic style emphasizing line over color, reflecting his training as a pupil of J. A. D. Ingres.",
