He wears a powdered wig and the red and black dress befitting his station. Seated at a table covered with a fleurdlyssée tablecloth, the latter detail underlines the prestige of his royal office. Oil on oval canvas, presented in its original pearl-studded carved wood frame gilded with gold leaf. Late 18th century, circa 1770 - 1780.
A fine portrait, unsigned. The painting is clean and well painted. The 18th-century frame has retained its original gilding (cleaned by our gilder).
