About the piece
Painted in 1726 by François de Troy, this formal portrait depicts Jean Hébert, an alderman of the city of Paris. The work showcases the artist's mastery in rendering luxurious fabrics, from the deep red velvet of the robes to the intricate curls of the powdered wig and the fine detail of the tasselled gloves.
