FRENCH SCHOOL 17th CENTURY, CIRCLE OF PHILIPPE DE CHAMPAIGNE, BUST-LENGTH PORTRAIT OF A MAN, OIL ON CANVAS, UNLINED
This delicate portrait demonstrates some of the main characteristics of the portraits of Philippe de Champaigne (1602-1674), notably the subtle colours and the careful psychological rendering of the features of the unknown man. The excellence of the artist's brushwork is evident in the precise treatment of the model's complexion, and special attention is paid to the rendering of the grey hair at the temples. Although we do not know his identity, his clothes suggest that the model is either a priest or a magistrate, and it is likely that he belonged to the Jansenist milieu with which Champaigne was so closely associated.
