EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Charles Le Brun's "Portrait of a man, turned to the right". The subject, an unidentified man, is depicted in a three-quarter profile view with his gaze directed towards the right. Le Brun's masterful use of pastel and charcoal on grey beige paper brings depth and texture to this remarkable piece. The man's bust occupies the frame, showcasing his regal presence. He wears an elaborate wig that was fashionable during the reign of Louis XIV, adding a touch of elegance to his appearance. Despite being unfinished, this drawing exudes a sense of mystery and intrigue. Photographed by Adolphe Giraudon around 1898-99, this image beautifully captures every intricate detail of Le Brun's original work. The play between light and shadow adds drama to the composition while emphasizing the subject's facial features. Currently housed in Louvre (Cabinet de dessins) in Paris, France, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure. Its historical significance lies not only in its portrayal of an anonymous individual but also as a representation of French art during Louis XIV's reign. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Le Brun's skillful technique and provides us with a glimpse into history through one man’s enigmatic gaze.
