The intricate details of his attire provide a glimpse into the fashion trends and political power of the time. The minister is depicted wearing a bicorne hat adorned with plumes, symbolizing his high rank and authority. His blue cape and coat are intricately embroidered with gold, reflecting opulence and grandeur. A red sash adds a touch of regality to his ensemble, while a white belt accentuates his waistline. He completes his outfit with breeches, buckle shoes, and a gold-hilt sword at his side. This handcoloured lithograph by Lorenzo Bianchi and Domenico Cuciniello after Hippolyte Lecomte captures every minute detail of this historical costume. It was part of an Italian edition showcasing civilian and military costumes from the French monarchy between 1200 to 1820. The image not only highlights the elegance of this particular minister's attire but also provides insight into the political landscape during that period. As one person stands alone in this composition, it emphasizes their significance within politics and government. Overall, this lithograph offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both fashion history and political symbolism intertwined within France's First Empire under Napoleon Bonaparte's rule from 1804 to 1815.
