This engraving by Sébastien Pinssio, created between 1755 and 1765, depicts François II, Duke of Brittany, in profile. François, who died in 1488, is portrayed in a classic, elegant style with detailed armor and helmet, capturing the noble bearing of the Duke. The oval frame and inscription add to the formal composition, making it a piece that showcases the style of 18th century portraiture.
