About the piece
Attributed to the 17th-century French school, this formal portrait depicts Michel Le Tellier, Marquis de Louvois, a prominent statesman. The work is characterized by its sophisticated treatment of light and shadow, particularly in the rendering of the subject's intricate lace cravat and the heavy, patterned velvet of his mantle, creating a sense of dignified authority.
