This portrait engraving features Cardinal Jules Mazarin, chief minister of France under Louis XIV and a key architect of European diplomacy during the mid-17th century. Depicted with a composed gaze and clad in ecclesiastical robes fastened by a prominent clasp, Mazarin’s likeness is framed by a soft stippled background that enhances the sitter’s presence. The engraving balances ornamental precision with subdued tonal contrast, reflecting the stylistic restraint of early 19th-century printmaking. Inscribed below with “CARDINAL MAZARINE,” and bearing attribution to “Nantuel P.” and “E. Morin S.,” the print exemplifies the reverential treatment of state figures in post-revolutionary France.
