Claude Dupouch 

This portrait by Maurice Quentin de La Tour depicts Claude Dupouch, likely a French painter. The work is a classic example of Rococo portraiture, with a focus on the sitter's personality. The relaxed pose and expressive eyes suggest a man of intelligence and refinement, while the detailed brushwork creates a sense of intimacy. La Tour was known for his innovative use of pastel, which gave his portraits a unique softness and vibrancy. This self-portrait displays the artist's talent for capturing a person's essence, making it an important work in the study of 18th-century French art.
