A small plaque on the socle of this impressive bust identifies the sitter as Armand-Claude de Bullion, Lord of Esclimont and Marquess of Gallardon, an ancestor of the previous owners of the sculpture. De Bullion was the so-called Premier Écuyer (First Squire) of the Small Stables at Versailles, responsible for the horses the King used on a day-to-day basis and second only to the squire in charge of the Great Stables. It was a privileged position reserved for the sons of the foremost noble families and one which obliged others to address him as Monsieur le Premier.
The type of dress and treatment of the drapery are comparable to mid 17th century busts of the French aristocracy and prominent military figures. However, the extensive drilling of the elaborate wig, lace collar and cuirass seen on this monumental bust are remarkable.
