Description / Synopsis
Francois Lotin de Charny (d.1684) was the President of the Parliament of Paris. His portrait is depicted here likely as a commissioned engraving to accompany a French scholar’s thesis at a public oral defence. In this scenario, Francois Lotin de Charny would have been a patron of the student, as many French dignitaries would have been at the time and have similar commissioned portraits. Another possibility is this portrait was commissioned directly by Lotin de Charny himself as a document of his position and status. |
