Artist, French, c. 1600 - 1668

The portrait depicts the upper half of Frederic Maurice de la Tour d'Auvergne. He is facing forward with his shoulders slightly turned to the left, looking directly at the viewer. His features include a serious expression, a moustache, and long, wavy hair framing his face. He is wearing armor with circular embellishments, a lace collar, and a draped sash crossing his chest. A sword's hilt is visible at his side. In the background, there is a draped fabric with elaborate patterning, and a detailed battle scene with soldiers and cannons below. A coat of arms is in the top left, and a laurel wreath-like element is on the right. The style resembles a formal portrait engraving.
