Portret van Raoul de Grosparmy 1660

This engraving by Etienne Picart from 1660 depicts Raoul de Grosparmy, a prominent figure in French politics and religion. The portrait, framed in an oval, presents Grosparmy in profile, his face etched with a sense of gravity and wisdom. The inscription below identifies him as "Evesque d'Evreux, Chancelier de France, Cardinal Evesque d'Albe," highlighting his influential roles as Bishop of Evreux, Chancellor of France, and Cardinal Bishop of Albano. Picart's meticulous detail, combined with the powerful subject, makes this a compelling example of 17th-century portraiture.
