The "Portrait of Charles-François Gounod 1818-93" is a distinguished work by the German-French painter Henri Lehmann, also known as Karl Ernest Rudolf Heinrich Salem. Henri Lehmann, born in 1814 in Kiel, Germany, was a prominent figure in the 19th-century art world, known for his adeptness in portraiture and historical painting. He studied under the tutelage of the renowned artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, which significantly influenced his style and technique.

Charles-François Gounod, the subject of this portrait, was a celebrated French composer born in 1818, best known for his operas, particularly "Faust" and "Roméo et Juliette." Gounod's contributions to music during the Romantic era were profound, and his works continue to be performed and revered today. The portrait captures Gounod during a period of his life when he had already established himself as a significant figure in the world of classical music.

Lehmann's portrayal of Gounod is marked by meticulous attention to detail and a deep sense of character. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow, combined with his ability to convey the personality and inner life of his subject, results in a compelling and lifelike representation. Gounod is depicted with a thoughtful expression, his gaze directed slightly away from the viewer, suggesting contemplation or introspection. The background is understated, ensuring that the focus remains firmly on the composer.

This portrait not only serves as a testament to Lehmann's artistic prowess but also as a historical document, providing insight into the appearance and demeanor of one of the 19th century's most influential composers. The work is a fine example of the portrait genre, reflecting the cultural and artistic milieu of the time. It remains an important piece in the study of both Henri Lehmann's oeuvre and the visual history of Charles-François Gounod.
