EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Henri-Francois d'Aguesseau, a prominent French lawyer and Chancellor of France from 1717-1750. The portrait is part of the renowned collection "Portraits des grands hommes, femmes illustres et sujets memorables de France" published by Pierre Blin between 1786 and 1792 in Paris. Captured in an oval frame, this exquisite engraving by Antoine Louis Francois Sergent-Marceau beautifully depicts d'Aguesseau's bust and head with meticulous detail. The image highlights his aristocratic stature as he wears a wig that was fashionable during his time. As one gazes upon this artwork, it becomes evident that d'Aguesseau exudes authority and wisdom through his dignified expression. His contribution to society as a magistrate is symbolized by the presence of legal elements surrounding him. The skillful craftsmanship employed in creating this print elevates it to the realm of sculpture-like artistry. Every line meticulously engraved captures the essence of d'Aguesseau's character and status within French aristocracy. Housed within a private collection, this rare piece offers viewers an opportunity to connect with history and appreciate the artistic mastery behind its creation.
