With his piercing gaze and distinguished beard, Rabelais exudes an air of intellectual prowess and rebellious spirit. The artist from the French School has masterfully captured his essence, immortalizing him in this timeless piece. Rabelais was not only known for his biting satire but also for his contributions to literature and medicine.
