REQUEST INFORMATION
?The young sovereign is represented in a three-quarter bust at the age of twenty-seven.
He is richly dressed in a white doublet embroidered with gold thread, the sleeves of which are slashed and reveal a luminous red silk.
His precious garment is barred with the cord of the Order of the Holy Spirit and the "little goose" which is an apron of ribbon knots at waist height.
The collar of his doublet is decorated with a ruff called "à la confusion" which is the ancestor of the large starched ruffs of the Renaissance, but in a smaller and more flexible version.
The king wears a thin moustache and a "à la comète" hairstyle with long hair that is brought back to the side and falls in a long lock on his left shoulder.
Her face with fine features is immersed in a soft, oblique artificial light, probably from a candle, which has the effect of illuminating and softening the complexions of her skin.
Oil on canvas, dated "1628", top right.
Very well preserved.
Antique frame in gilded wood with leaf.
French work attributable to the painter Daniel Dumonstier (1574-1646)
