This lithograph showcases the esteemed General Louis Eugene Cavaignac, a prominent figure in 19th-century France. The portrait, created by an anonymous French artist, is currently housed at the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris. General Cavaignac's commanding presence is evident as he gazes confidently into the distance. His distinguished beard and laurel wreath symbolize his military achievements and honor. As Governor General of Algeria and Minister of War in the National Assembly, Cavaignac played a crucial role in shaping France's history during this period.

This print serves as a tribute to his contributions to the nation despite this setback. The fine details captured by the lithographer bring out every nuance of expression on General Cavaignac's face, revealing both strength and wisdom. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition while emphasizing his resolute character. This historical artwork offers viewers an opportunity to delve into France's rich past and reflect upon its influential leaders.
