Ph. Cl. A. de Thubières, Comte de Caylus is a 1770 ink by Jean-Baptiste André Gautier-Dagoty, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is a portrait of a man with curly hair, wearing a dark jacket and a white lace collar. The background is dark, and the man's face is turned to the right. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking at something in the distance. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the painting. The artist's use of chiaroscuro is reminiscent of the Baroque movement.
