"Abel François Poisson, Marquis de Marigny (1727–1781) is the subject of a notable portrait painted in 1755 by the French artist Louis Tocqué. As the younger brother of the famous Madame de Pompadour, mistress to King Louis XV of France, Marigny was an influential figure at the French court. He served as the Director-General of the King's Buildings, a position that allowed him to oversee royal architecture and to contribute significantly to the development of French art during the 18th century.

The portrait by Tocqué is a testament to Marigny's status and the artistic tastes of the time. Louis Tocqué, renowned for his portraiture, captured Marigny with a refined elegance that was characteristic of the Rococo period. The painting is a half-length portrait that depicts Marigny in luxurious attire, reflecting his wealth and position within the aristocracy. His confident pose and the direct gaze towards the viewer convey a sense of his authority and the importance of his role in the arts.

The Marquis de Marigny's patronage was instrumental in the careers of several artists and architects, including Étienne-Louis Boullée and Jacques-Germain Soufflot, the latter being the architect of the Panthéon in Paris. Marigny's contributions to the French arts extended beyond his patronage; he also implemented reforms in the French Academy in Rome and established the École des Élèves Protégés, which aimed to further the education of French artists in Italy.

The portrait by Louis Tocqué is not only a representation of an individual but also serves as a historical document that provides insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of 18th-century France. It remains an important work for understanding the role of patronage in the arts and the visual representation of the French elite during the Rococo period."
