Portrait of Anne Louis Goislard de Montsabert, Comte de Richbourg-le-Toureil, 1734

Portrait of Anne Louis Goislard de Montsabert, Comte de Richbourg-le-Toureil, 1734. By positioning the figure close to the picture plane and engulfed in a swirl of drapery, Nicolas de Largilliere created a remarkably informal likeness of the 26-year-old Goislard. This impression is enhanced by the sitters open shirt and the drift of wig powder that dusts the shoulders of his velvet doublet. Warm hues and thick brushstrokes reveal the artists study of earlier Flemish painters, notably Anthony van Dyck. Despite his youth and seeming nonchalance, Goislard was a figure of prominence. He may have commissioned this work to commemorate his appointment to the Parlement, or governing council, of France in 1732, or earning the title Lord of Montsabert the following year
