Efforts at Financial Reform
Jacques Necker by Joseph Duplessi. Original was exhibited at the Salon of 1783, now in the Château de Coppet.
When Necker was criticized by his enemies for the Compte rendu, he made public his 'Financial Summary for the King', which appeared to show that France had fought the war in America, paid no new taxes and still had a massive credit of 10 million livres of revenue.
