‘D. FRANCISCUS QUESNAY, EX MONTEF NATUS DIE 4. JUNI 1694.’

– Bust-length portrait of Quesnay, seated in a niche-like architectural oval, surrounded by books, a feather quill, and an inkwell. He wears a curled wig and an academic coat with lace. Latin inscription below. Francois Quesnay (June 4, 1694 – December 16, 1774) was a French economist and physician. He studied medicine in Paris, and became physician to King Louis XV of France. From the late 1740s he began to devote more time to the study of economics, gathering around him a group of leading economic thinkers (the Physiocrates). He published the “Tableau economique” (Economic Table) in 1758, which provided the foundations of the ideas of the Physiocrats.
