French painter and intellectual Charles-Antoine Coypel was the son of the artist Antoine Coypel and grandson of Noel Coypel. Charles was adept at designing “cartoons,” sketches for tapestries, seen in the renowned Gobelins works. This splendid 1734 self-portrait evokes an artist who is quietly confident in his talents and intellect. A remastered, Mixed-Media painting and perfect for French Chateaus in Dallas.
