Portret van Tanneguy III du Chastel 1755 - 1766

This engraving, "Portret van Tanneguy III du Chastel," was created by Jean-Charles François between 1755 and 1766. The artwork depicts Tanneguy III du Chastel, a French nobleman, in a formal portrait style. François was a French artist known for his engravings, and this piece showcases his technical skill in capturing detail and creating a sense of realism. The subject, Tanneguy III du Chastel, appears in a close-up, with his face and upper torso filling the oval frame. The inscription below identifies him as the "Vicomte de la Belliere" and notes his death in 1477. The engraved lines create a sense of depth and texture, particularly noticeable in the subject's clothing and the elaborate chain he wears around his neck. This work is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure from the past.
