EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisitely hand-colored lithograph, we find the portraiture of Francois de Fougerolles, a renowned doctor and physician of Montpellier during the reign of King Henri III of France. The image, drawn and lithographed by Alexandre Massard, is based on a portrait housed in the gallery portfolio of Roger de Gaignières, as published in Le Bibliophile Jacob's "Costumes Historiques de la France" in 1852. Francois de Fougerolles is depicted in a solemn and thoughtful demeanor, donning the attire of a distinguished medical professional of the time. He wears a long, voluminous robe, with a wide, fur-lined collar, and a simple white linen shirt beneath. His hands are folded in his lap, signaling a deep contemplation or perhaps a moment of respite from the rigors of his practice. The intricate details of his clothing, from the textured fabric to the delicate folds, are rendered with remarkable precision by Massard's skilled hand. The background of the print is adorned with an ornate, gilded frame, adding an air of elegance and importance to the portrait. The overall effect is one of refinement and sophistication, befitting the esteemed status of Francois de Fougerolles as a doctor and physician in the court of King Henri III. This image offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, as well as the dignity and professionalism of one of Montpellier's most esteemed medical figures.
