Attributed to Pierre Mignard (1612-1695), portrait of Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (so-called Molière), 17thC, oil on canvas, 78 x 99 cm
Portrait of Molière in three-quarter profile, writing a letter on his desk addressed 'Monsieur', while looking at us, the spectator.

Condition: The yellowed varnish layer has been poorly cleansed causing some pigment loss around the face and the mantle coat and the complete lower edge of the painting. New chassis, old canvas.
In our opinion in good condition.
