French contemporary work.

At the Renaissance period, wealthy people and nobles ordered their portraits. The tendency at the 14^th and 15^th centuries, more particularly in Italy, was the side view portrait inspired by Antique medals and coins. Thus, the profile portrait put the accent on the face line and not on a special expression, which could disrupt the spectator: it gave a timeless aspect to the character.
This canvas is inspired by many portraitists of the Renaissance period such as Pisanello, Piero di Cosimo, Antonio Pollaiolo or Leonardo da Vinci.
