Elegantly attired and wearing a powdered wig, Charles-François Pinceloup de la Grange slightly raises his head and gazes searchingly into the distance. A member of the Orléans nobility, Pinceloup de la Grange had recently received several prestigious government appointments. The painting and a [*pendant portrait*](http://www.getty.edu/art/collection/objects/747/jean-baptiste-perronneau-magdaleine-pinceloup-de-la-grange-nee-de-parseval-french-1747/) of the sitter's wife may have been intended to celebrate his achievement. The portrait was painted near the outset of Jean-Baptiste Perronneau's career. Primarily working in the medium of pastel, Perronneau was one of the most prominent and accomplished portraitists in eighteenth-century France. He was especially successful in securing patrons, like Pinceloup de la Grange, in the French provinces.
