This etching by Robert Nanteuil, a prominent French portrait artist, depicts Andre Le Fevre d'Ormesson. Created sometime during Nanteuil's career (1623-1678), the piece showcases the subject in a three-quarter profile, emphasizing his age and the seriousness of his demeanor. The inscription around the oval frame includes the subject's name, title, and the phrase "Sanctioribus Consiliis" (meaning "by the most sacred councils"), suggesting the subject's high standing and involvement in important matters. This artwork is an excellent example of portraiture in the 17th century, showcasing the artistry and meticulous detail of the period.
