«François Barthelemy, Ambassadeur de la Republique Françoise en Suisse».
Watercolour and gouache over pencil on yellowish wove paper. Signed lower middle and dated 1796.
H 12,
François Barthélemy started his political career in the diplomatic service. As ambassador to Switzerland he was in charge of the affairs in the eventful 1790s. He later was active as a politician in the French Republic. The Swiss painter and miniature painter Marquard Wocher created here a portrait vignette of the politician, as it was a common type of art at the time of the French Revolution.
