About the piece
Painted around 1715 by Nicolas de Largillière, this masterful oil portrait captures the refined elegance of the French Regency period. The sitter's luminous complexion and intricate powdered wig are set off by the deep, rich tones of his red velvet coat, making it a sophisticated addition to any traditional or scholarly space.
