About the piece
Attributed to Ferdinand Elle in 1631, this striking oil portrait depicts Henry de Lorraine, Marquis de Mouy. The subject is rendered with masterful detail, from the intricate texture of his lace collar to the gleaming finish of his golden gorget. His silver-grey doublet and breeches epitomize the sophisticated courtly and military fashion of the French Baroque period.
