Portret van Prosper Jolyot de Crébillon 1751

This engraving by Jean-Joseph Baléchou, a French artist, portrays the French playwright Prosper Jolyot de Crébillon. The image depicts Crébillon in a seated pose, wearing a formal outfit, and holding a cane in his right hand. The engraving's detail and realistic depiction of the subject are consistent with the style of portraiture prevalent in 18th-century France. This print, which was created in 1751, is a testament to Baléchou's ability to capture the likeness and essence of his subjects.
