Marie Joseph Chentier is a 1797 oil by Jean-François Hue, a French Romanticism work, held at Detroit Institute of Arts.
The painting depicts a man sitting at a desk, with a quill pen in his right hand and a piece of paper in front of him. He is wearing a dark jacket over a white shirt and a blue vest. The background is a plain brown color. The man's facial expression is serious, and he appears to be concentrating on his work. His hair is gray and styled in a neat manner. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. This painting is a great example of the work of Jean-François Hue, an artist known for his detailed and realistic portraits.
Jean-François Hue (1751–1823) was an artist, born in Saint-Arnoult-en-Yvelines.
