About the piece
This formal oil portrait from 1780 depicts Jean Auguste de Chastenet de Puységur, a French prelate. The artist masterfully captures the play of light on his shimmering purple vestments and the delicate complexity of his white lace sleeves, characteristic of the refined French portraiture style of the late 18th century.
