This 1752 etching by Charles Nicolas Cochin II, a renowned French artist, depicts the Marquis de Marigny in profile. The portrait is framed by an oval, which adds to its classic and elegant feel, typical of the Rococo period. It is a testament to Cochin II's talent for capturing the essence of his subject. The print, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of 18th-century portraiture and the mastery of the etching technique, which allows for delicate details and subtle shading.
