EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant hand-colored lithograph, we find a portrait of Francois-Cesar Letellier, Marquis de Courtanvaux, a distinguished figure of the 18th century in France. Born in 1718, Letellier was a man of many talents, excelling both in the scientific realm and on the battlefield. He was a member of the prestigious Academie des sciences, a testament to his intellectual prowess. The Marquis de Courtanvaux is depicted here in the height of fashionable attire for a French nobleman of the time. His richly textured coat, adorned with gold buttons and a sash, is a symbol of his high social standing. The intricate lace cuffs and the delicate cravat add a touch of refinement to his appearance. The artist has captured the subtle details of his costume, from the meticulously crafted waistcoat to the well-polished shoes. Despite his scholarly pursuits, Letellier's military background is not forgotten in this portrait. The sword at his side serves as a reminder of his past as a soldier. The Marquis' intense gaze and the determined set of his jaw convey a sense of strength and resolve. This beautiful lithograph is taken from the collection "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Le Bibliophile Jacob, also known as Paul Lacroix. The Administration de Librairie in Paris published this work in 1852, preserving the historical fashion and figures of the French aristocracy for future generations. The hand-coloring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, making it a captivating glimpse into the past.
