"Portret van Louis-Augustin Bosc d'Antic" is a portrait engraving created by Charles Aimé Forestier between 1818 and 1832. The artwork depicts Louis-Augustin Bosc d'Antic, a French botanist and entomologist, in a formal pose with his head slightly tilted. Forestier's meticulous detail in the subject's attire, from the crisp collar to the intricately rendered waistcoat, is characteristic of the Neoclassical style prevalent during the early 19th century.

The work was likely commissioned to commemorate Bosc d'Antic's contributions to natural science and his position within the French scientific community.
