About the piece
Painted in 1713 by the French master Nicolas de Largillière, this elegant portrait depicts the sculptor Nicolas Coustou amidst his artistic tools and clay studies. The work demonstrates the artist's celebrated ability to render the tactile qualities of high-fashion fabrics and the soft luminosity of skin, characteristic of the late Baroque style.
