Círculo de François-Hubert Drouais, francés, 1727-1775- Retrato de un caballero, de medio cuerpo, sosteniendo un ejemplar de «L’esprit des lois»; óleo sobre lienzo, 67 x 52,6 cm. Procedencia: Colección privada, Reino Unido. Nota: La presente obra presenta similitudes con los retratos de caballeros elegantes de Drouais, lo que recuerda a obras comparables del mismo autor que se subastaron en Christie’s, Nueva York, el 12 de febrero de 2026 (lote 227) y el 8 de junio de 2011 (lote 61). «De l’esprit des lois», también conocida en inglés como «The Spirit of the Laws», es un tratado de teoría política y una obra pionera del derecho comparado de Montesquieu (1689-1755), publicada por primera vez en 1748.
