Sassenage, undated
Pastel on paper
Ville de Paris, musée Cognacq-Jay
Inv. J 122
In this half-length pastel portrait of the Comte de Sassenage
(1704-1762), he is dressed in a brown silk jacket over a white linen
shirt with black tie. Across his chest the Count wears the blue silk
sash and insignia of the Order of the Knights of the Holy Spirit,
which he joined in May 1749. This may be a copy of an earlier
portrait, presented at the 1748 Salon, to which La Tour has added
the sash and insignia.
