Original artwork description from the museum (© - Los Angeles County Museum of Art - Los Angeles County Museum of Art)

Similar to the way French playwright Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (1732-1799) used his plays featuring the fictional character of Figaro to champion lower-class morality, painter Jacques-Louis David employed classical allegories to illustrate the Republican virtues he saw emerging in France during the Revolution. David became famous for these politically charged history paintings, but he turned to portraiture after the Terror in 1794. This particular work is the last David painted before he fled to Brussels in 1815.

The subject of this painting, Jean-Pierre Delahaye, was a man of persistence: he continued his law practice during the years of the Revolution by repeatedly completing the regime’s frequently changing requirements. David focused on illuminating Delahaye’s trustworthy expression, honoring their close friendship. In the year of Delahaye’s death in 1819, an obituary revered him as “the most upright and distinguished member of the Bar,” validating David’s representation of his strong moral character.
