This 1677 engraving by Antoine Masson depicts François Rouxel de Medavy, Archbishop of Rouen. The portrait presents him in a formal pose, wearing the traditional attire of a high-ranking church official. His solemn expression and the inscription surrounding his bust emphasize his status and authority. The detailed rendering of his facial features and the intricate folds of his robes showcase Masson's skill as an engraver. This piece is a fine example of 17th-century portraiture and provides valuable insight into the religious figures of the time.
