"Farewell Audience of French Ambassador Charles Gravier, Comte de Vergennes with the Sultan Mustafa III in Constantinople" is an 18th-century oil painting by the French artist Antoine de Favray, who is known for his detailed and vibrant depictions of life in the Ottoman Empire. The painting captures a significant diplomatic moment: the formal leave-taking, or "audience of farewell," of the French Ambassador Charles Gravier, Comte de Vergennes, with the Ottoman Sultan Mustafa III. This event took place in the cosmopolitan city of Constantinople, known today as Istanbul.

The painting is a valuable historical document, as it provides insight into the diplomatic relations between France and the Ottoman Empire during the 18th century. It also reflects the elaborate ceremonial practices of the Ottoman court and the importance of pomp and circumstance in diplomatic exchanges of the era. Antoine de Favray, who lived in Constantinople from 1762 to 1771, was well-placed to capture such events, having gained access to the Ottoman court and high society.

In the artwork, Favray meticulously illustrates the grandeur of the Ottoman architecture, the opulence of the courtly attire, and the hierarchical nature of the proceedings. The figures are rendered with attention to detail, and the composition conveys the formality and gravity of the occasion. The painting not only showcases Favray's skill as a portraitist and a chronicler of his time but also serves as a testament to the rich cultural and political exchanges between Europe and the Ottoman Empire.

The "Farewell Audience of French Ambassador Charles Gravier, Comte de Vergennes with the Sultan Mustafa III in Constantinople" is considered an important work in Favray's oeuvre and in the genre of diplomatic portraiture. It contributes to our understanding of 18th-century international relations and the role of art in documenting and commemorating such events.
