Portraits gravés de Nanteuil. Figures du siècle de Louis XIV

An illustrator and an engraver, Robert Nanteuil is one of the most prized portraitists of the century of Louis XIV. The Duke d’Aumale was impressed by Nanteuil’s skill and purchased several of his engravings, often from well-known collectors. Nanteuil’s portraits are classic and simple, showcasing his subjects with great precision yet also managing to highlight their personality.
