About the piece
Attributed to the renowned French Baroque artist Philippe de Champaigne, this 1647 portrait depicts Monseigneur Pierre de Bertier. The sitter is presented in a striking blue cape accented with red stitching, wearing a crisp white collar and a gold pectoral cross. The composition employs a dark, neutral background and a stone ledge at the base to focus attention on the subject's dignified and contemplative expression.
