Jean-Baptiste Colbert, marquis de Torcy (1655-1746) is a 1701 oil by François de Troy, a Rococo painting work, depicting Louis Xiv of France, held at Palace of Versailles.
This painting depicts a man in a lavish green and gold embroidered robe, standing in a grand room with columns. He is pointing to a mirror, where a man in a black jacket and white collar is visible, holding a feathered hat. The room's floor is made of stone tiles, and a red tablecloth covers a table with a small gold box on it. The man in the robe is wearing white stockings and black shoes with gold buckles, and his robe is draped over his left shoulder. The mirror reflects the man in the black jacket, who is looking at the viewer. To learn more about the artist behind this painting, look up François de Troy.
