Description: | The wig worn by the young gentleman in this portrait is of a type which was fashionable in the late seventeenth century. This dating is confirmed by the date 1689 which is inscribed on the back of the painting. The name and title of the sitter are also given - he was Armond Consciller and his title was Martial en le Cour. Evidently Consciller was one of the numerous officials who worked for the Sun King, King Louis XIV of France. The identity of the artist is unknown. The portrait has apparently been cut down from a larger oval painting to fit its current frame. | Subjects: | Armond) portrait (de Consciller | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8632... | Go to resource |
