This lithograph portrait of Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, was created by Lazarus Gottlieb Sichling between 1822 and 1863. It features a detailed depiction of the renowned French naturalist, known for his 44-volume Histoire naturelle, in a circular frame. The work captures Buffon's distinguished bearing with a focus on his facial features and the intricate details of his clothing.
