About the piece
Painted in 1714 by Nicolas de Largillière, this portrait of Prince Christian of Bavaria is a quintessential example of French Rococo elegance. The artist demonstrates his legendary skill in depicting textiles, contrasting the deep luminous blue of the velvet coat against the intricate, delicate patterns of the lace cravat and gold-thread embroidery.
