Portret van Jean-Jacques Régis de Cambacérès, hertog van Parma

From LinkedCulture

This stipple engraving captures Jean-Jacques Régis de Cambacérès, the second most powerful man in Napoleonic France, dressed in a heavily embroidered court coat with a starburst medal bearing an eagle at his chest. Created by J.M. Gaillard Monet between 1770 and 1850, the bust-length portrait sits within an oval frame, with his full title and coat of arms inscribed below. Cambacérès was the chief architect of the Napoleonic Code, a legal framework that still shapes civil law across much of the world today.
