About the piece
Painted in 1714 by the celebrated French portraitist Nicolas de Largillière, this work captures a young nobleman in a moment of poised grace. Draped in a luminous pink cloak and accompanied by a hunting dog and a perched bird, the sitter is presented against a dramatic, atmospheric landscape typical of the transition from Late Baroque to Rococo style.
