Corneille de Lyon and his workshop produced many small portraits of French notables which stuck to a successful formula, flattering to his sitters – making it hard to distinguish between his works and those of his followers. As is usual with Corneille, the eyes are rather far apart and are not quite horizontal, and the head itself is not quite vertical. His moustache conceals the corners of his mouth; he lacks the incipient smile found in many of Corneille’s portraits.
