Portrait of Cardinal Dubois is a 1723 portrait painting by the French artist Hyacinthe Rigaud depicting Cardinal Guillaume Dubois. Dubois served as Chief minister of France during the Régence era.
Following the death of Louis XIV, in 1715 his successor Louis XV was still a child and so a regency was formed under his cousin Duke of Orleans until the young king came of age in 1723. Dubois, as the former tutor of the Duke, was made his chief minister (effectively a forerunner of the post-1814 office of prime minister). A notable policy was the Anglo-French Alliance of 1716, a pact with France's previous enemies Great Britain. Duuring his time in office the Cellamare conspiracy was thwarted. In the tradition of Richelieu and Mazarin he combined the role of a statesman and clergyman. In 1721 he was elevated to the position of cardinal by Pope Innocent XIII. He still held office at his death in August 1723 at Versailles.
The books shown on the desk besides are notable legal works. He wears a wrap of scarlet silk with a shorter fur cape and holds a letter marked "Au Roy" (To the King). Today the painting is in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio.
