Original Description
Joseph-Siffred Duplessis’ Portrait du comte d’Angiviller captures the dignified presence of Charles-Claude Flahaut de La Billarderie, a prominent 18th-century French aristocrat and arts administrator. Painted in the late 1770s, the work exemplifies Duplessis’ masterful Neoclassical style—defined by precise realism, restrained elegance, and psychological depth. The count’s steady gaze and composed posture reflect Enlightenment ideals of reason and authority, while the muted earth tones and delicate brushwork showcase the artist’s technical finesse. As the director of the Bâtiments du Roi, the sitter played a pivotal role in shaping French art patronage, making this portrait both a historical document and a testament to the era’s artistic refinement. Today, it stands as a prime example of Rococo-to-Neoclassical transition, bridging the ornamental flair of Boucher and the austere clarity of David.
For a sophisticated yet understated decor, this portrait would enrich a study or formal sitting room. Its warm ochres and deep browns pair beautifully with mahogany furniture or gilded accents, while the vertical composition (approximately 127 x 96 cm) suits above a console table or between bookshelves. In a modern office, it could anchor a wall with neutral tones, its historical gravitas complementing leather-bound volumes or minimalist metallic frames. For ideal lighting, avoid direct glare—soft, angled spotlights or natural side lighting will enhance the textured waistcoat and the sitter’s subtle expression. Grouping it with smaller landscape sketches or neoclassical busts can create a curated vignette, balancing its dignified scale with layered visual interest.
