This engraving by Pierre Adrien Le Beau depicts Maximilien de Béthune, Prince of Souverain of the Principality of Orange and Duke of Sully. The work, dating from 1758 - 1806, features a portrait of the prominent French military and political figure within an ornate frame with a coat of arms below. The detail and intricacy of the engraving, along with the inclusion of his coat of arms, underscore Béthune's high social standing. This engraving is an example of the historical and genealogical portraits popular in the 18th century.
