"Le Ministre d'État en grand costume" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, produced in the late 18th century. This work is part of a series titled "Habits of the New French Legislators and other Public Functionaries," which lampoons the French political figures of the time, particularly those associated with the French Revolution and the subsequent Directory period. Gillray, known for his sharp wit and intricate engravings, uses this series to critique the perceived pretensions and follies of French politicians through exaggerated depictions of their attire and demeanor.

In "Le Ministre d'État en grand costume," Gillray presents a French minister in an ostentatious and elaborate outfit, replete with symbols of power and vanity. The caricature likely aims to underscore the contrast between the revolutionary ideals of equality and the luxurious lifestyles of the new ruling elite. As with many of Gillray's works, the print serves as both a piece of political commentary and a work of art, showcasing his skill in etching and his keen observational humor.

Gillray's caricatures were widely circulated and influential in his time, contributing to the public discourse on politics and society. "Le Ministre d'État en grand costume," along with the rest of the series, provides valuable insight into the political tensions and cultural exchanges between Britain and France during a tumultuous period in European history. The print remains an important artifact for scholars studying the art of caricature, the history of political satire, and the cultural relationships between nations at the turn of the 19th century.
