Jean petitot was a major french portraitist in painted enamel who learned the technique from henri toutin. His enamels, with their refined detailing, soft modeling, and polished surfaces, suited the court's taste and had many imitators. Prieur studied with petitot, but his style is slightly more naturalistic. Date: between 1650 and 1660. Place of creation: Paris, France. Dimensions: 3.8 cm (1.5 in). Medium: painted enamel on copper. Collection: Walters Art Museum. Paul Prieur - Portrait of a Nobleman - Walters 38214
