Le Brun Par Rigaud 1730

This self-portrait of Hyacinthe Rigaud, painted in 1730, is a prime example of his mastery of Baroque portraiture. Known for his elegant depictions of French royalty and aristocracy, Rigaud skillfully captures his own likeness with a sense of both authority and humility. The rich textures of his clothing, particularly the luxurious velvet, are rendered with exquisite detail, highlighting Rigaud's technical prowess. The painting currently resides in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.
