Original Description
The portrait of Henri de La Tour d'Auvergne, Comte d'Évreux by Hyacinthe Rigaud is a masterful representation of 18th-century French aristocratic grandeur. Rigaud, the preeminent court painter of Louis XIV's reign, captures the young count with remarkable elegance and psychological depth. Against a sumptuous yet restrained background, the sitter's elaborate silver-embroidered blue coat and cascading curls epitomize the refined Baroque style transitioning into early Rococo. The work exemplifies Rigaud's signature ability to balance formal dignity with subtle vitality - notice how the count's slight smile and direct gaze create an unusual sense of approachability amidst ceremonial pomp. Completed circa 1715 when Rigaud dominated French portraiture, this painting occupies a pivotal place in art history as it bridges the imposing grandeur of Versailles' golden age with the more intimate aristocratic portraits that would follow during the Régence period.
For interior decoration, this portrait deserves a prominent space that honors its noble origins while creating harmonious contrasts. Display it in a high-ceilinged study or formal reception room where its approximately 55 x 46" dimensions can command attention without overwhelming. A Louis XIV-style giltwood frame would be historically accurate, though a simpler contemporary black frame could create striking modernity. Hang it against walls painted in deep charcoal or Prussian blue to make the silvery-blue costume tones shimmer. Position beneath directional lighting tilted at 30 degrees to recreate candlelit ambiance. For furniture pairings, balance its formality with clean-lined neoclassical pieces or contrast with mid-century modern designs - the portrait's timeless elegance withstands bold juxtapositions. In corporate settings, it lends gravitas to executive offices or boardrooms when combined with dark wood paneling and brass accents.
