The Diplomat.
Velvet. Medals. A rather serious document. A chair which has clearly been reserved for someone important.
The sitter is the Marquis d'Ossun, portrayed around 1780 in all the appropriate trappings of rank, influence and official business.
Whatever the matter at hand, he appears reasonably confident that it will be resolved in his favour.
A useful quality in a portrait.
The original
The Marquis d'Ossun, attributed to Jules César Denis Van Loo, c. 1780. National Gallery of Art, Washington, accession 1955.7.1.
