"Benjamin Franklin" by Charles-Nicolas II Cochin is a notable portrait of the esteemed American polymath, diplomat, and Founding Father, Benjamin Franklin. Created by the French engraver and draftsman Charles-Nicolas Cochin the Younger, this artwork is a significant representation of Franklin during his time in France. Cochin, a prominent figure in the art world of 18th-century France, was known for his detailed and refined engravings, which often captured the likenesses of influential figures of his era.

The portrait of Franklin by Cochin is particularly important as it was produced during Franklin's tenure as the American envoy to France, a period when he was instrumental in securing French support for the American Revolution. This diplomatic mission, which lasted from 1776 to 1785, was crucial for the success of the American cause, and Franklin's presence in France was marked by his widespread popularity and influence among the French intellectual and political elite.

Cochin's depiction of Franklin is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the dignified yet approachable demeanor of the subject. The portrait typically features Franklin in his characteristic attire, often including his fur hat, which became an iconic symbol of his persona in France. This image contributed to the mythos of Franklin as a wise and humble representative of the American spirit.

The artwork not only serves as a historical document but also as a testament to the cultural exchange between America and France during a pivotal moment in history. Cochin's rendering of Franklin remains a celebrated piece, reflecting both the artistic skill of the engraver and the enduring legacy of Benjamin Franklin as a key figure in the Enlightenment and the American Revolution.
