Portrait of Charles-Pierre Pécoul is an oil-on-canvas painting by the French Neoclassical artist Jacques-Louis David, completed in 1784. The sitter, Charles-Pierre Pécoul, was an official responsible for royal building contracts and the father of the painter's wife Charlotte.
Description The portrait shows Pécoul seated against a dark background, wearing a brown coat with gold buttons and a white cravat. He is depicted in three-quarter view with a composed posture. The restrained use of color and simple background are characteristic of David's early portraiture.
