This engraving, titled "A portrait of Claude Maugis, advisor to Marie de Medici" transports us back in time to the elegant court of 17th-century France. The artist, Philippe de Champaigne, masterfully captures the essence of this influential figure who served as an advisor to Marie de Medici. Claude Maugis is depicted with a distinguished presence befitting his role as an abbe and trusted confidant. His well-groomed moustache and beard add an air of sophistication to his countenance. A prominent cross hangs from his neck, symbolizing both his religious devotion and position within the clergy. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line etched by Champaigne brings life to Maugis' expression and character. We can almost imagine him engaging in deep conversations with Marie de Medici, offering counsel on matters that shaped the destiny of France. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection, we are reminded not only of its artistic beauty but also of the historical significance it holds. It serves as a testament to the power dynamics at play during that era – where advisors like Claude Maugis played crucial roles behind closed doors.

Let us cherish these timeless pieces that continue to inspire awe and curiosity about our
