Inscription to frame verso
A handsome French gentleman poses for this portrait. He is in a powdered wig, which contrasts nicely with his blue coat and red undershirt. Pinned to his chest is a medal that looks appears to be a Cross of the Order of Saint Louis, a chivalric order open to Catholic military officers who served in the French Army or Navy.
