Anne-Hilarion de Cotentin, Comte de Tourville (1642–1701) was a prominent French naval commander known for his service during the reign of King Louis XIV. His military prowess and strategic acumen earned him a distinguished reputation in the maritime history of France, particularly during the Nine Years' War. In recognition of his contributions, Tourville was featured in the collection "Portraits des grands hommes, femmes illustres, et sujets memorables de France," which was published between 1787 and 1792 by Antoine Louis Francois Sergent-Marceau, an esteemed French engraver and portraitist.

This collection aimed to celebrate notable French figures through a series of engravings, providing a visual compendium of the country's most influential personalities across various fields, including politics, the arts, and the military. The inclusion of Tourville in this anthology underscores his lasting legacy and the esteem in which he was held by later generations. The portrait of Tourville in Sergent-Marceau's work not only serves as an artistic homage but also as a historical document, reflecting the values and interests of the late 18th-century French society that sought to preserve and venerate the memory of its heroes.

The Comte de Tourville's strategic victories, such as the Battle of Beachy Head in 1690, solidified his status as one of France's foremost naval tacticians. His career, marked by both triumphs and challenges, exemplifies the complexities of maritime warfare during a period of intense rivalry among European powers. The portrait by Sergent-Marceau, created nearly a century after Tourville's death, contributes to the enduring narrative of his life and career, offering a visual representation that complements the historical record of his achievements.
