About this work

This painting shows a man sitting at a desk with papers and a book. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The man in the painting is Jean Armand Dubourdieu, a minister. This painting is based on another work by D. Fermin, which is an interesting fact. The painting's border is cut off on one side, which is a bit unusual.
