About the piece
This 1729 oil painting depicts Cardinal Louis Antoine de Noailles in a moment of poised authority. Seated in an ornate high-backed chair and draped in rich scarlet and delicate white lace, the subject is surrounded by scholarly attributes and an atmospheric background featuring allegorical statuary and distant architecture under a soft blue sky.
