Portret van Annet de Clermont de Chattes-Gessant 1726

Laurent Cars's *Portret van Annet de Clermont de Chattes-Gessant* is an engraved portrait of a nobleman from 1726. The artwork depicts the subject within an oval frame, emphasizing the sitter's noble status. The subject's elaborate clothing and the inclusion of a coat of arms, positioned below the oval, further reinforces this sentiment. This type of engraving, created with a burin and etching, was popular in the 18th century and remains a valuable art historical artifact.
