He was known for his charm, intelligence, and military prowess, making him a favorite of the royal court.

The intricate details of his costume, from the delicate lace collars to the ornate embroidery, are beautifully rendered in this handcoloured lithograph. The Marquis de Courtanvaux's portrait is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the French Renaissance. The use of vibrant colours and intricate details in the lithograph further enhances the sense of elegance and refinement, making it a captivating work of art that transports us back to a bygone era.
