Arhitectul Andre Le Notre (?) is an unspecified by Hyacinthe Rigaud y Ros, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a man in fancy 17th-century clothes, sitting and holding a small box. His curly wig is big, his coat is dark with bright red lining, and he looks relaxed. Behind him, a blurry scene shows people and trees, but they’re not the focus. The man’s face is lit up, while the background fades into shadow. That lighting trick makes him stand out. The painting might be of a famous architect, but we can’t be sure. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro*.
This 17th-century painter made formal portraits of high-ranking figures, dressing them in rich fabrics and posed against grand backgrounds.
