Painted by Amelie Legrand de Saint-Aubin in 1830, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures Caillie's determined spirit and intellectual prowess. In this neo-classical depiction, Caillie is portrayed as a man of great intellect and curiosity.

The artist skillfully brings out every detail of his face - from the lines etched by time to the intensity reflected in his eyes. The composition exudes an air of sophistication and elegance that is characteristic of neo-classicism.
