| Description |  |
Talleyrand, a brillant political figure who served under every French ruler from Louis XVI to Louis-Philippe, commissioned this portrait from Prud'hon in 1817. For Napoleon Prud'hon had already painted two-full portraits of Talleyrand, one in 1806 for the Château de Compiègne (Château de Valençay, Indre) and an other in 1807 (Musée Carnavalet, Paris). The pose for this portrait was based on the 1807 painting.
