About the piece
This formal 17th-century oil portrait depicts a man identified as Maximilien-François de Béthune, the second Duke of Sully. Captured in a moment of quiet authority, the subject is draped in a rich red mantle that provides a striking contrast against the deep, atmospheric shadows of the background.
