"Charles Gravier, Comte de Vergennes in Oriental Costume" is an 18th-century oil painting by French artist Antoine de Favray, depicting Charles Gravier, Comte de Vergennes (1717–1787), who was a French diplomat and statesman. The painting is notable for its representation of a European figure in Oriental attire, reflecting the cultural exchanges between the Ottoman Empire and Europe during the period when Vergennes served as the French ambassador to the Sublime Porte in Constantinople (now Istanbul).

The portrait captures Vergennes in a moment of cultural assimilation, dressed in lavish Turkish clothing, a testament to his deep engagement with the Ottoman court and society. Favray, who lived in Constantinople from 1762 to 1771, was well-acquainted with the diplomatic circles and adept at portraying the nuances of cross-cultural interactions in his work. The painting is a significant example of Orientalist art, a genre that often romanticized and exoticized Eastern cultures as seen through Western eyes.

In this work, Favray's attention to detail in the textiles, patterns, and accessories worn by Vergennes showcases the artist's skill in rendering textures and his sensitivity to the sartorial customs of the Ottoman Empire. The portrait not only serves as a visual record of Vergennes' diplomatic tenure but also reflects the broader fascination with the Orient that was prevalent among European intellectuals and artists of the time.

The painting of Charles Gravier, Comte de Vergennes in Oriental Costume, is an important cultural artifact that offers insights into the complexities of 18th-century diplomacy, the phenomenon of Orientalism, and the artistic practices of portraiture. It remains a valuable piece for historians and art enthusiasts alike, providing a window into the life and times of one of France's most influential diplomats, as well as the enduring allure of the East in the European imagination.
