Etienne Picart, a prominent French engraver, created this portrait of Eudes de Chasteauroux in 1660. The print depicts Eudes in an oval frame, clad in a long robe, his hands clasped in prayer. He appears to be a man of considerable age and importance, as he is described as a canon and chancellor of the Church of Paris, as well as a cardinal and bishop. The engraving, a small yet detailed work, provides a glimpse into the religious figures of 17th century France.
