About the piece
Attributed to Bon Boullogne, this dignified portrait depicts Monsignor Charles le Goux de la Berchère in his clerical finery. The work showcases the artist's masterful technique in rendering varied textures—from the delicate, translucent white lace of the rochet to the heavy silk of the mozetta—all set within a stately interior that opens onto a panoramic view of Narbonne.
