From the collection of Palace of Versailles
Antoine Parmentier (1737-1813) is a 1812 oil by François Dumont, held at Palace of Versailles.
This painting depicts a man sitting at a desk, writing with a quill pen. He is dressed in a black jacket with green trim and a white shirt, and has a red ribbon pinned to his chest. In his left hand, he holds a bouquet of corn and flowers. The desk is made of wood and has a green top, with papers and books scattered across it. Behind him, there is a painting of a landscape with a house and animals, as well as some books and papers on a shelf. The man's face is serious, and he appears to be concentrating on his writing. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the subject lost in thought as he writes.
