Charles Henri, Comte d'Estaing is a 1780 ink by P. Frieselhem, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
A man in a bright blue military coat stands confidently, his white cravat and gold buttons gleaming. His right hand rests on a globe, while his left holds a rolled-up map. A red sash and medals cross his chest, and a sword hangs at his side. The background shows a ship and a faint sketch of a person, suggesting travel or command. The text below his name lists his titles: *Chevalier des Ordres du Roi* and *Lieutenant Général de ses Armées*. This means he held high military rank, likely in France. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Frieselhem created sharp, detailed prints like this one.
