About the piece
This oil on panel portrait, painted around 1800 by Louis Xavier Bonard, depicts Guillaume Puy in his official capacity. The sitter's resolute expression is complemented by the rich textures of his dark coat, tricolor sash, and various honors, all set against a deep, atmospheric background typical of the period.
