Represented in the audience: people from the chancellor's entourage; behind stanislas: the abbot of mareuil, his brother, and philippe ory de vignory, his brother-in-law [the general financial controller philibert orry]; to his right: his father antoine chaumont, and one of his brothers-in-law; elsewhere in the audience several of his brothers and brothers-in-law; in the box, his wife and his mother. The painting was commissioned and produced 41 years after stanislas took office as chancellor and keeper of the seals, at the same time as a second, to decorate his private mansion, the hôtel gouffier de thoy, on rue de la varenne in paris. The young painter françois-andré vincent, whose first large-format works are these, was chosen because of a prize received at the paris salon, and also apparently because of his talent for portraits, especially for the second painting (extract from the cartel of the exhibition "la lorraine pour horizon" at the lorraine museum, nancy, 2016 and various works at the museum). Object Type: painting. Date: 1778. Medium: painting. Depicted People: Antoine-Martin Chaumont de La Galaizière, Stanisław Leszczyński.
