EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait is believed to depict Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (1809-1865), a renowned French economist, philosopher, and publicist of the 19th century. The exact creation date of this oil painting is uncertain, but it is estimated to have been produced between 1849 and 1865. The subject's intense gaze, furrowed forehead, and wrinkled features suggest a deep thinker, lost in thought or perhaps expressing concern. Proudhon's distinctive ginger beard, arms folded across his chest, and the rich texture of the oil on canvas add to the authenticity and allure of this historic image. Proudhon was a significant figure in the development of anarchist thought, advocating for a society based on voluntary association and mutual aid. He was also a prolific journalist and writer, publishing numerous works on economics, politics, and philosophy. This portrait, now housed in the Carnavalet Museum in Paris, offers a glimpse into the life and legacy of this influential figure in French and European intellectual history.
