Maximilien de Bethune, Duc de Sully is a 1767 by Pierre Chenu, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a man in a ruffled collar and armor, holding a piece of paper. He's looking to the side, and there are two figures in the background. The man is the main focus, with the other figures blurred. The painting has a lot of detail in the man's clothing and armor. The background is dark, which makes the man stand out. The artist has used a lot of shading to create depth and texture. If you're interested in more art like this, you might want to check out the Romanticism movement.
