Object description :

"Portrait Of An Aristocrat From The Louis XIV Period"
Portrait of an aristocrat or magistrate from the Louis XIV period wearing a wig typical of those years. It is the only attribute of a high social rank. His clothes are rather casual. His shirt is unbuttoned and the garment he wears over it - a kind of dressing gown - is loose and simple, without any embroidery. . What interested the painter in this portrait is the man he has in front of him, less his function or his social position. By concentrating on his face, he manages to give a great presence to this character and to make it a lively and sympathetic portrait. The well-controlled lighting also contributes to this: The light illuminates the face, the right hand, which is also very successful, and part of the clothes. These are painted with broad brush strokes in a frank and edgy manner in superb shades of plum and olive green. The painting has its original frame, a Bérain baguette. Its gilding is a little worn in places, but it contributes to the authenticity of the portrait. Its canvas is also original. Note the repaintings, inevitable for a painting of this age, which take nothing away from its authenticity, its beauty and its charm.
