"Monsieur Saurin" is a notable work by Louis Carrogis, commonly known as Carmontelle, an 18th-century French dramatist, painter, and creator of transparents, which were a form of illuminated theater. Carmontelle is recognized for his portraits of the French aristocracy and his role in the development of the silhouette portrait. "Monsieur Saurin" is one of his many portrait works, depicting Bernard-Joseph Saurin, a French lawyer and playwright who was active during the same period as Carmontelle.

The portrait is executed in Carmontelle's characteristic style, which often involved delicate watercolors and featured the subjects in fashionable attire, capturing the sophistication and elegance of French society in the pre-Revolutionary era. As with many of Carmontelle's works, "Monsieur Saurin" is likely to reflect the sitter in a naturalistic setting, possibly engaging in an everyday activity, which was a hallmark of Carmontelle's approach to portraiture.

Carmontelle's portraits are significant for their historical value, providing insights into the personalities and styles of the time. They are also appreciated for their artistic merit, demonstrating Carmontelle's skill in capturing the likeness and character of his sitters. "Monsieur Saurin" is no exception, offering a window into the life of a prominent figure in French literature and law, as well as showcasing the artistic talents of Carmontelle.

The work is part of Carmontelle's broader oeuvre, which includes hundreds of portraits, landscape drawings, and the aforementioned transparents. His work is held in various collections, including the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, and the Musée Carnavalet in Paris. "Monsieur Saurin" contributes to the understanding of portraiture in the 18th century and the social circles in which both the artist and the subject moved.
