Crepin's Master 1685 - 1975

"Crepin's Master" is a red chalk drawing by Claude Gillot, a French artist who was active during the early 18th century. The drawing depicts a standing figure, likely a nobleman, in a richly detailed 17th-century costume. This delicate work showcases Gillot's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the elegance and sophistication of the period, a notable aspect of his artistic style. The work, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, provides insight into the social and sartorial trends of the era.
