Vigée Le Brun participated in the Salon of 1785 with more than ten submissions, including this portrayal of Calonne (1734–1802), controller general of finances. He holds a document inscribed Au Roi (To the King), which demonstrates the royal confidence he enjoyed. The painter, in a remarkable character study, emphasizes his likability. The fabrics and accessories that surround him attest to the artist’s masterly rendering of texture and detail.
