EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print captures the essence of Philibert Orry, a prominent figure in French history. Painted by Hyacinthe Rigaud or his studio, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 146x112 cm and is currently housed at the Château de Versailles in France. Philibert Orry was known as the Inspector General of Finances for Louis XV during the 18th century. However, his career took an unexpected turn when he was deposed by Madame de Pompadour in 1745. This intriguing detail adds depth to the image, symbolized by a broken seal prominently displayed within the painting. The composition showcases Orry seated at a desk adorned with various items that reflect his role as an administrator of royal residences and Controleur General des Finances. A quill pen rests upon a tome and ledger, hinting at his meticulous attention to detail and dedication to financial matters. Orry's attire exudes elegance and sophistication; he wears a lace collar accompanied by a meticulously styled wig. The rich velvet fabric of his clothing further emphasizes his high status within society. A warm smile graces Orry's face, offering insight into his amiable personality despite facing political challenges during his tenure. The presence of tassels hanging from one side adds an element of regality to this remarkable portrayal. This print allows us to delve into history while appreciating Rigaud's skillful brushwork and attention to detail. It serves as both a visual delight
