Photograph of a full length portrait of Jean-Gilbert Victor Fialin, Duc de Persigny (1808-72) seated, facing the camera, his head turned slightly to the left. He gazes ahead, away from the camera. The sitter crosses his right leg over his left, and places his right arm on top. He leans his left arm on a nearby table. A book is placed on the table, and there is a draped column in the background, on the left.
