François Bonneville's "Portret van Pierre Dezoteux de Cormatin" (1796-1802) is a portrait engraving of the French military leader Pierre Dezoteux de Cormatin. The artwork depicts Cormatin in a formal pose, wearing a military uniform and a powdered wig. The engraving is executed in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the subject's facial features and clothing. The small dimensions of the artwork (188 mm x 119 mm) suggest it may have been intended for personal use or as part of a collection of engravings of notable figures. The inscription below the portrait identifies Cormatin as a "Marshal of the Camp and Major General of the Armies of the Catholic and Royal King of Burgundy."
