This etching by French artist Jean-Baptiste de Grateloup is a portrait of the French Archbishop François de Salignac de la Mothe-Fénelon. The portrait, housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, features Fénelon in a religious garb with a simple yet detailed background. It is a good example of an engraved portrait from the 18th century, highlighting the technical mastery of the artist. It likely depicts Fénelon, a prominent figure in French religious thought, in a formal setting.
