Portret van Louis Antoine de Noailles 1700 - 1729

"Portret van Louis Antoine de Noailles," an engraving by Pierre Drevet, depicts the French archbishop of Paris, Louis Antoine de Noailles, in an oval frame. The engraving was likely created between 1700 and 1729 and is housed in the Rijksmuseum. The inscription in the frame surrounds his portrait and identifies him as "Louis-Antoine de Noailles, Cardinal, Archbishop of Paris and Duke of Paris." The engraving demonstrates Drevet's mastery of the medium and exemplifies the quality of 18th-century portraiture in France.
