Nicolas de Largillière (Paris, 1656 – 1746). "Portrait of a Gentleman in Armor"
Author : NICOLAS DE LARGILLIÈRE
Period: 17th century
Oil painting on original canvas. Examined under Wood's lamp, it shows no restorations.
Canvas measurements 77.5x59.5 cm, with a beautiful carved and gilded frame 107.5 x 89.5 cm.
The drapery of the robes, and in particular the precious laces, are masterfully executed with soft strokes and luminous colors. The expression of the face, masterfully achieved, with the skill of one who knows anatomy well and knows how to describe and interpret the character of the character.
Here are the pictorial characteristics of Largillière, which we compare in the execution of details such as lace, the cross, the belt and the small view of the landscape behind him where a tower can be seen in the distance.
