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.
