"General Clarke" is a portrait by Louis Carrogis Carmontelle, a French painter, dramatist, and author known for his portraits and landscape pieces called "transparentes." Carmontelle, born in Paris in 1717, was a prominent figure in the arts during the 18th century, serving as a draftsman and designer for the Duke of Orléans and creating numerous portraits of the French elite.

The portrait "General Clarke" depicts Henri Jacques Guillaume Clarke, a distinguished military officer who served under Napoleon Bonaparte. Clarke was a key figure during the Napoleonic Wars and held various important administrative and military positions, including the Minister of War. He was also ennobled as the Count of Hunebourg and later as the Duke of Feltre.

Carmontelle's portrayal of General Clarke is significant as it captures the subject during a pivotal era in French history. The artwork is a testament to the artist's skill in rendering the likeness and character of his sitters, often highlighting their social status and achievements. The portrait is executed with the delicate and refined style characteristic of Carmontelle's oeuvre, reflecting the aesthetic preferences of the French aristocracy during the pre-Revolutionary period.

The work is part of Carmontelle's broader contribution to the arts, which includes not only his portraits but also his creation of the Théâtre de Société, a form of amateur theatre popular with the aristocracy, and his landscape gardens at the Parc Monceau in Paris. "General Clarke" is an example of Carmontelle's ability to document the influential figures of his time through his art, providing a window into the cultural and historical context of 18th-century France.

As an artist, Carmontelle is remembered for his unique contributions to portraiture and landscape design, and his works, including "General Clarke," continue to be studied for their historical significance and artistic merit.
