About the piece
Painted in 1723 by the celebrated French court painter Hyacinthe Rigaud, this portrait depicts Cardinal Guillaume Dubois in his full ecclesiastical splendor. The work is a tour de force of texture, capturing the weight of the red silk robes and the softness of the ermine cape against a dark, atmospheric background typical of the Baroque tradition.
