Claude Lefèbvre (entourage)
Very beautiful portrait of a magistrate from the time of Louis XIV.
Painting very close to the style of Claude Lefèbvre, known for his portraits, he worked for Eustache Lesueur, then in the workshop of Charles Lebrun.
The frame is Louis XVI, it has small accidents in the ribbon, it has been transformed to accommodate the painting.
The oval presentation is completely natural, at the time many portraits were represented like this.
In the case that concerns us, the editing is not really orthodox, but there is nevertheless a certain charm to this painting.
