Louis Phelypeaux, comte de Saint Florentin

Johann Georg Wille after Louis Tocqué

National Gallery of Art

The man is seated in a decorative chair, facing forward with his body slightly turned to the side. He is elegantly dressed in a richly embroidered robe over a buttoned waistcoat, knee-length trousers, and stockings. He has curled hair and a slight smile. He holds a sheet of paper in his right hand, and there is a feather quill and inkpot on the table beside him. The background features a decorated wall with columns and a draped curtain.
