## Commentary

Jouvenet was a forceful portraitist, concerned - as in the pungent characterization of Dr Raymond Finot, exhibited at the Salon of 1704 - to grasp personality rather than the trappings of fine clothes. His strong naturalism is reflected in this remarkable portrait, a moving study of an old, wrinkled face.
