Portret van Charles de Bourbon, graaf van Soisson 1755 - 1765

This engraving, "Portret van Charles de Bourbon, graaf van Soisson", was created by René Gaillard between 1755 and 1765. The portrait depicts Charles de Bourbon, a French nobleman who served as Grand Master of France, and is presented in a classical oval frame. The detail of the subject's clothing and facial features, executed in a meticulous, fine-lined style, is typical of the engraving style of the 18th century. The work is a testament to Gaillard's skill and the historical interest in individuals who played a pivotal role in French history. This is an example of historical portraiture from the Enlightenment era.
