Charles-François-Paul Le Normant de Tournehem (1684–1751) was a notable French financier and art collector, who served as the Directeur des Bâtiments du Roi under King Louis XV. This position made him responsible for overseeing royal building projects and the arts, a role of significant influence in 18th-century France. He is perhaps best known for his connection to Madame de Pompadour, the famous mistress of Louis XV, as he was her guardian and possibly her biological father.

The portrait of Le Normant de Tournehem by Louis Tocqué captures him during his tenure as Directeur des Bâtiments du Roi. Tocqué, a renowned portraitist of the time, was known for his ability to convey the elegance and status of his subjects through meticulous attention to detail and a refined use of color. In this painting, Tocqué likely emphasizes Le Normant de Tournehem's dignified presence and his prominent role in the royal court.

Le Normant de Tournehem's tenure was marked by his support of the arts and architecture, contributing to various projects that enhanced the cultural landscape of France. His influence extended to the promotion of Rococo art and architecture, which flourished during this period. His relationship with Madame de Pompadour further solidified his position in the court, as she was a key patron of the arts and an influential figure in promoting artistic endeavors.

Despite his significant role, detailed personal records of Le Normant de Tournehem's life and contributions are limited, with much of his legacy intertwined with that of Madame de Pompadour. His impact on the arts during his directorship, however, remains a testament to his influence in shaping the cultural heritage of France during the reign of Louis XV.

The portrait by Tocqué serves not only as a visual representation of Le Normant de Tournehem but also as a historical artifact that offers insight into the artistic and cultural milieu of 18th-century France.
