About the piece
This 1733 portrait by Michel-François Dandré-Bardon depicts a Counsellor of the Aix-en-Provence Parliament. Clad in voluminous red and black robes that provide a dramatic splash of color against a muted background, the subject is rendered with the dignified poise characteristic of French Rococo-era formal portraiture.
