The image, taken around 1810, captures Barbie du Bocage in the prime of his career, during a time when his expertise in cartography and geography brought him significant recognition and influence. Born in Paris, Barbie du Bocage initially pursued a military career, but his passion for geography soon took precedence. He became a member of the Institut de France, a prestigious academic organization dedicated to the advancement of science, literature, and the arts. In 1803, he joined the French Foreign Ministry as a geographer, where he played a crucial role in producing accurate and detailed maps for diplomatic and military purposes. Barbie du Bocage's contributions to cartography were significant, particularly in the areas of Asia and the Middle East.

His work was also instrumental in promoting French interests and influence abroad. The portrait showcases Barbie du Bocage's intellectual and professional accomplishments, as well as his refined sense of style. He is dressed in the attire of a gentleman scholar, with a serious yet thoughtful expression on his face. The background is adorned with books and maps, symbolizing his deep knowledge and commitment to the pursuit of geographic knowledge. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable French geographer, whose work had a profound impact on the world of cartography and diplomacy during the early 19th century.
