Jean-Baptiste Poquelin de Molière

Jean-Baptiste Poquelin de Molière. François-Bernard Lepicié in 1734 engraved this portrait as a frontispiece for the four-volume luxury edition of Oeuvres complètes de Molière, loosely based on a portrait by Charles Coypel, in turn based on a Nicolas Mignard portrait painted in Avignon in 1658. It is reproduced here from the BN, Département des Éstampes, AA3 Mignard.
