About the piece
Created in 1734, this masterful pastel by Charles-Antoine Coypel captures the artist in a refined self-presentation. The luminous texture of the pastel highlights the powdered curls of his wig and the delicate lace of his cuffs, embodying the sophisticated Rococo style and technical brilliance of the French court during the Enlightenment.
