"Portrait of Charles Perrault (1628-1703)" is a lithographic work by the French artist François Séraphin Delpech (1778–1825), who was renowned for his lithographs and portraits of prominent figures of his time. The portrait depicts Charles Perrault, a notable French author and member of the Académie Française, who is best remembered for laying the foundations for a new literary genre, the fairy tale, with works such as "Cinderella," "Puss in Boots," "Little Red Riding Hood," and "Sleeping Beauty."

Delpech's lithograph is significant as it captures the visage of Perrault, reflecting the intellectual and cultural aura of the 17th-century French literary scene. The portrait is likely based on earlier paintings or engravings, as Delpech's lifetime did not overlap with that of Perrault. In the portrait, Perrault is typically depicted in the attire of the period, often with a poised and contemplative expression that befits his stature as a literary figure.

François Séraphin Delpech was an influential lithographer, and his portraits were known for their clarity, attention to detail, and the ability to convey the personality and status of the subjects. The "Portrait of Charles Perrault" is an example of Delpech's skill in portraiture and his contribution to the preservation of the likenesses of historical figures through the medium of lithography.

The work is part of a broader collection of lithographic portraits by Delpech, which served to document and celebrate the luminaries of French society during his lifetime. While the exact date of creation for this particular lithograph is not well-documented, it is a testament to the enduring legacy of Charles Perrault and the respect he garnered among artists and intellectuals in the centuries following his death.

As an artwork, "Portrait of Charles Perrault" by François Séraphin Delpech is an important historical record and a piece that contributes to the visual understanding of the figures who shaped French literature and culture.
