Portrait of a Man in a Brown Coat French Painter French These pendants, presumably of a husband and wife, are typical of a format and style popularized by Pierre Gobert (1662-1744) who looked to French Renaissance precedents even as many of his contemporaries were turning to the lighter, animated portraits of Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641). The sitters faces, including his five oclock shadow, are rendered admirably, but their costumes are comparatively schematic, particularly around his shoulder and her drapery and jewelry, making the attribution of these works difficult..
