About this work

An engraved portrait shows a man in a powdered wig and period coat seated in an ornate upholstered chair, holding an open ledger on his lap. A stone column, a tree, and a writing desk with a quill stand beside him on a checkered floor, with a river and a stone bridge in the distance. The print is inscribed at top with the sitter's identification as an intendant des finances and is signed by Louis Carrogis de Carmontelle, dated 1761.
