About the piece
Painted in 1726 by François de Troy, this dignified portrait depicts a French alderman (échevin) in formal attire. The subject’s voluminous powdered wig and rich velvet robes represent the height of 18th-century administrative status, while his direct gaze and pointing hand suggest an active, commanding presence.
