The Marquis d'Ossun

Französische Malerei 1740–1787, vers 1780

The artwork depicts a seated man, showing him from head to toe. He is positioned in a chair with intricate carvings. The man has a composed expression, with fair skin and white, curled hair styled in a formal manner. He is dressed in a deep burgundy coat adorned with embroidery, lace cuffs, and a blue sash across his chest. He also wears a star-shaped medal and a red ribbon. His legs are crossed, and he holds a letter in his hand. The background features a dark, detailed interior with a bust on a pedestal, shelves of books, and a table with ornate decorations.
