Jean Restout

Pierre Etienne Moitte after Maurice-Quentin de La Tour

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper half of a man seated with a drawing tool in his right hand, resting on a large sheet of paper on his lap. The man has distinguished facial features and is looking slightly to his right. He has curls in his hair and is wearing an elaborate 18th-century outfit with a long coat and a cravat. He sits in an upholstered chair with a scroll design on top, and behind him is an easel with a blank canvas. The background is simple.
