"Portrait Présumé de Monsieur de Laval, Maître à Danser des Enfants du Roi" is an 18th-century oil painting by French artist Jean-Baptiste Perronneau, a portraitist known for his pastel and oil portraits that capture the character and essence of his sitters with a remarkable sense of realism and psychological depth. The painting is believed to depict Monsieur de Laval, a dance master responsible for teaching the children of the French king, Louis XV. This role within the royal household was significant during a period when dance was not only a form of entertainment but also a means of social and political expression, with the mastery of dance being an essential skill for members of the court.

Perronneau, a contemporary of the more famous pastelist Maurice Quentin de La Tour, was admitted to the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in 1753 and gained recognition for his portraits that often rivaled those of his peers in their vivacity and insight into the sitter's personality. The "Portrait Présumé de Monsieur de Laval" exemplifies Perronneau's skill in capturing the dignified presence of his subject. The painting's composition, use of color, and the sitter's attire and pose all contribute to an understanding of the subject's profession and social standing.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, it is stylistically consistent with Perronneau's work from the mid-18th century. The portrait is characterized by its refined brushwork and the artist's ability to render textures and fabrics with great detail, a hallmark of Perronneau's technique. The sitter's expression, caught in a moment of repose or contemplation, invites viewers to ponder the inner life of Monsieur de Laval, reflecting the Enlightenment's growing interest in the individual.

The painting is an important work within Perronneau's oeuvre, offering insights into the cultural and social history of the period, as well as the artistic conventions of portraiture. It stands as a testament to the artist's mastery of the genre and his contribution to the rich tapestry of 18th-century French art. As with many historical artworks, the provenance and history of the "Portrait Présumé de Monsieur de Laval" contribute to its significance and the understanding of its context within the broader scope of European art history.
