This portrait is sometimes described as that of Ange Hyacinthe Maxence, baron de Damas, minister of Louis XVIII e.g. the site of La Réunion des Musées Nationaux.

Others consider this work to be a self-portrait of Jean-Baptiste Isabey. There is certainly some likeness between the sitter and Isabey,
cf the portrait of Isabey painted by François Gérard below.
