This engraving, created around 1775 by François Hubert, depicts Armand Thomas Hue de Miromesnil, the first president of the Parliament of Normandy. The portrait is presented in an oval frame adorned with a laurel wreath and is set against a decorative background. The subject is shown in profile, wearing a powdered wig and formal attire. The engraving includes an inscription with his title and the coat of arms of the Miromesnil family, including a mask of Comedy, symbolizing the theatrical world. The intricate details and historical figures make this engraving a valuable piece for understanding the art and politics of 18th-century France.
