About the piece

This 1745 oil portrait depicts Monsignor Berton de Crillon, rendered with the polished elegance typical of French mid-century portraiture. The sitter's composed expression is complemented by the rich textures of his white fur mantle and the prominent Order of the Holy Spirit star suspended from a blue collar.
