DESCRIPTION: LAGNEAU, Nicolas (1590-1666) PORTRAIT OF A MAN. Black and red crayon and ink drawing: 4" x 3-1/4" Bust portrait of an old man facing front. He has a white mustache and white, square beard. Except for the tufts of gray, frizzed hair at his temples, his head is bald. He wears a jacket buttoned up the front, with a wide collar that spreads overs his shoulders. The square face and wide shoulders give the impression of a heavy-set man. Collections: L. Deglatigny (marking lower left) Georges Dormeuil Price...........$200. (Two Hundred Dollars) Note: There is scarcely a doubt that this drawing is of the same group as those by Lagneau in the Château de Chantilly.
