This portrait captures the likeness of Valentin Haüy, a pioneering figure in the education of the blind.

His efforts laid the groundwork for future advancements in the field of education for the visually impaired.
Favart's depiction of Haüy is characterized by meticulous attention to detail and a profound sense of empathy, capturing the humanitarian spirit of the subject. The portrait likely served as a tribute to Haüy's enduring legacy and his contributions to society.
