Jean Daullé, after Jacques-Andre-Joseph-Camelot Aved

National Gallery of Art

The image portrays a man in a three-quarter length portrait. He is seated, looking ahead. The man has a broad face with full cheeks, a prominent nose, and deep-set eyes. He has curly, medium-length light-colored hair. He is dressed in an elaborate 18th-century outfit with a buttoned vest, a long coat with voluminous sleeves, and ruffled cuffs. He holds a quill pen in his left hand and rests his right arm on a table with papers and books. The background is a plain wall with a molding pattern.
