About the piece
Painted in 1732 by Jean-Baptiste van Loo, this portrait depicts François-Melchior Claude de Milan Forbin. The sitter is presented with aristocratic poise, draped in a luxurious red velvet cloak lined with exotic leopard fur, a signifier of wealth and status that complements the glimpse of armor on his arm.
