"Portret van Henri de Latour d'Auvergne, vicomte de Turenne" is a 1767 engraving by Antoine de Marcenay de Ghuy, depicting Henri de Latour d'Auvergne, Vicomte de Turenne, a prominent French military leader. The engraving is a bust-length portrait showcasing Turenne in military attire with a sword, set against a backdrop of foliage, typical of the portraiture style of the 18th century. The small dimensions of 153mm x 95mm suggest it might have been a private commission or part of a series of engravings. This intricate piece captures Turenne's noble bearing and is a testament to Ghuy's mastery of the engraving technique.
