Artist: Nicolas de Largillierre (French, 1656 - 1746)
Original Dimensions: 36" x 28"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (Probably 1710) "An opulently dressed man with glossy clean-shaven skin and clear blue eyes gazes directly at us with a slight smile on his lips. He wears a rose-gold coloured jacket with exotic gold tassels, covered with a gorgeous teal silk-velvet cloak lined with embroidered gold silk damask. His soft velvet cap matches his cloak and is decorated with a spray of black herons’ feathers in a gold setting, from which dangles a huge pear-shaped baroque pearl. It is likely that this costume belonged to Largillierre, as both the clothes and jewel appear in portraits by him of other people.
The man has been previously identified as the painter Jean-Baptiste Forest (1613–1712) and as the poet Jean-Baptiste Rousseau (1671–1741), but the evidence does not entirely support either suggestion. There is an almost identical portrait by Largillierre in the Uffizi, Florence, which is dated 1710 on the back." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
