Created between 1653 and 1663, the print showcases Nanteuil's masterful use of line and detail to capture Le Masle's likeness with striking realism. Le Masle's dignified expression, finely rendered clothing, and prominent insignia are all expertly portrayed, highlighting the subject's position within the Church. This masterful example of Baroque portraiture captures the essence of its subject and stands as a testament to Nanteuil's skill as a printmaker.
