Général Auguste-Marie-Henri Picot, comte de Dampierre (1756-1793) is a 1834 oil by Raymond Monvoisin, a French Romanticism work, held at Palace of Versailles.
This painting is a portrait of a man in a dark coat with gold trim, set against a dark background. The man has white hair and is turned to the right, looking off into the distance. The coat is the main focus of the painting, with intricate details in the gold trim. The painting is done in oil paint, which gives it a rich, textured look. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create depth and contrast in the painting, with the dark background and light-colored coat creating a sense of drama.
