About the piece
Painted by Charles-Antoine Coypel in 1737, this masterful portrait depicts Maurice de Saxe, a celebrated Marshal of France. He is shown in magnificent silver armor with a blue sash and a dramatic spotted-fur cloak, holding a commander's baton against a dark, atmospheric sky that emphasizes the luminous quality of the metalwork.
