About the piece
This 1749 portrait by François Dorly captures an architect at his desk, holding a pair of dividers over a plan, accompanied by a young girl. The work is characterized by the soft, luminous textures typical of mid-18th-century European portraiture, highlighting the intricate lace of the man's cravat and the delicate rendering of his powdered wig.
