The Prefect Raffaele Raggi by Sir Anthony van Dyck

With one hand resting on a baton and the other on the hilt of his sword, the sitter turns and looks down at the viewer, his haughty expression consistent with the proud swagger of his pose. As he stands before an evening sky and extensive landscape with a distant view of the bay of Genoa, light glints off his armor and deep-red sashes, draped gracefully across his body and tied to his arm, enhance his bravura.

Ingres changed his mind after being struck by her „terrible et belle tête“ (terrible and beautiful head.) The author Théophile Gautier described her as „Junolike,“ and Ingres presents her with the imposing remoteness of a Roman goddess.
