About the piece
This commanding oil portrait by Antoine Rivalz depicts Pierre II de Poulhariez. Dressed in the height of 18th-century fashion, the sitter wears an elaborate powdered wig, a rich brown coat, and a vibrant red sash. The inclusion of the family coat of arms and the date 1724 in the background reinforces the subject's status and the work's heritage appeal.
