Caricature of the Painter Pierre-Charles Jombert 1773 - 1775

This graphite drawing by François André Vincent, completed between 1773 and 1775, is a caricature of the painter Pierre-Charles Jombert. The piece, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features Jombert depicted in a humorous and exaggerated manner, with a tall, pointed hat and a slightly hunched posture. Vincent, known for his portraits and historical scenes, captures Jombert's likeness with a combination of sharp observation and playful distortion, offering a glimpse into the artist's unique style and the social interactions of the 18th century.
