Pierre Guillaume Cazeaux, half-length, seated at a desk 1798

This portrait of Pierre Guillaume Cazeaux, created by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres in 1798, depicts the subject in a half-length seated pose. Cazeaux is dressed in a formal coat with a crisp white cravat, a detail that emphasizes his status and sophistication. The painting's classical composition, with a focus on line and form, is characteristic of Ingres' early style. The use of soft tones and subtle brushstrokes create a sense of realism and intimacy.
