## Commentary

This engraving was executed after a lost, nearly three-quarter length portrait by Henri-Horace Roland de la Porte. The sitter of the portrait is Henri Camille, marquis de Beringhen \(1693-1770\), a member of an aristocratic family originally from the duchy of Cleves who from the time of Henri IV served in various capacities in the armies and royal households of France. &lt;a onclick=&#34;return OpenOther\(&#39;/html/o/oudry/father/beringhe.html&#39;\)&#34; href=&#34;/html/o/oudry/father/beringhe.html&#34;&gt;He was also portrayed&lt;/a&gt; by Jean-Baptiste Oudry.
