Context: Vernet stands authoritatively before the Villa Medici, seat of the French Academy in Rome, where he was director from 1829 to 1835. In the foreground, a stepladder with palette and brushes indicates Vernet's talent for painting large canvases. The newly poplular paper cigarette he holds proves his stylishness, while the rising smoke catures the momentary quality of the portrait.
