About the piece
Attributed to the French Baroque painter Hyacinthe Rigaud around 1700, this portrait captures a man of status with striking detail. The work is characterized by the artist's skillful rendering of the voluminous wig and the soft, luminous treatment of the subject's face against a deep, moody background.
