About the piece
This 1702 portrait by Nicolas de Largillière depicts a Parisian alderman (échevin) with the refined elegance characteristic of the French Baroque. The subject is rendered with masterful detail, from the intricate texture of his voluminous wig to the luminous quality of his skin, set against a deep, dramatic background that emphasizes his status.
