About the piece
Created around 1760 by Jean-Étienne Liotard, this profile portrait of the Baron de Lubières showcases the artist's incredible skill with pastel and gouache. The subject is depicted in a moment of quiet composure, his powdered wig and fur-lined coat rendered with meticulous detail and soft, luminous texture characteristic of Liotard's celebrated style.
