Gilbert de Choiseul-Praslin, eveque de Comminges 1605 - 1650

This etching by Jean Morin, completed between 1605 and 1650, depicts Gilbert de Choiseul-Praslin, Bishop of Comminges. The portrait is presented in an octagonal frame, with the subject's name and titles inscribed around the perimeter. Morin's use of intricate detail and light and shadow creates a realistic and dignified representation of the bishop, capturing his presence and authority. The artwork is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
