"previously attributed to daniel dumonstier (1574-1646), it is possible that this portrait is from the hand of come, the father of daniel, a portrait painter in paris at the court of nerac. This hypothesis is difficult to confirm because very few portraits drawn by the artist exist to this day. Not only was come a painter, he was also the valet to catherine de medici and margaret of valois, the queen of navarre. This portrait most likely represents charles i de guise (1571-1640), who inherited the titles of duke of guise and prince de joinville in 1588, at the death death of his father henri de guise, nicknamed the "balafre" (the scarred). We thank daniel lecoeur who suggested we attribute this work to come dumonstier. " [1]. Date: 1598. Dimensions: height: 38 cm (14.9 in); width: 26.4 cm (10.3 in). Medium: black stone, chalk, paper.
