"Study for a Portrait of Charles Claude de Flahaut de la Billarderie, 1730-1809, Count of Angiviller" is a preparatory work by the French painter Joseph Siffrein Duplessis, created as part of the process for a formal portrait of the Count of Angiviller. Charles Claude Flahaut de la Billarderie, the Count of Angiviller, was a prominent figure in the French art world of the 18th century, serving as the director of the Bâtiments du Roi (King's Buildings), which included overseeing the royal art collections and commissioning works for King Louis XVI.

Joseph Siffrein Duplessis (1725–1802) was a renowned portraitist of the French Enlightenment, celebrated for his depictions of intellectual and political luminaries of his time. His portraits are known for their nuanced rendering of character and their sophisticated use of color and light. The study for the Count of Angiviller's portrait would have been an important step in Duplessis's artistic process, allowing him to experiment with composition, lighting, and expression before executing the final painting.

While the final portrait of the Count of Angiviller by Duplessis is well-documented and held in various art collections, the study itself represents an intimate glimpse into the artist's preparatory stages and provides insight into his methodical approach to portraiture. Such studies were crucial for establishing the composition and mood of the final work, and they often exhibit a looser, more expressive technique than the finished paintings.

The "Study for a Portrait of Charles Claude de Flahaut de la Billarderie, 1730-1809, Count of Angiviller" is significant not only as a work of art but also as a historical document, reflecting the artistic conventions and cultural milieu of pre-revolutionary France. It serves as a testament to Duplessis's skill as a portraitist and to the importance of the Count of Angiviller in the arts and politics of his time.
