Pierre Etienne Moitte after Charles-Nicolas Cochin II

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a profile view of a man looking to the right. He has prominent facial features, including a nose and slightly curved mouth, with focused eyes. His hair is styled in defined curls and he is wearing formal attire indicative of 18th-century fashion. The portrait is surrounded by a decorative element with a bow and leaves, with a detailed gradient background. A plaque at the bottom names him as Louis-René de Caradeuc de La Chalotais and includes his role and birth details in French.
