About the piece
Painted in 1756 by the celebrated French portraitist Jean-Marc Nattier, this work depicts Jean Victor de Rochechouart, Duke of Mortemart. The subject is shown in a striking red coat with prominent leopard-skin collars and cuffs, clutching a steel helmet that signifies his noble and military standing. Nattier’s signature luminous skin tones and soft, atmospheric lighting highlight the prestige and elegance of the French Rococo era.
