1449. CARDINAL RICHELIEU.
Philippe de Champaigne (French: 1602-1674). See 798.
"The central head in No. 798 was evidently used as a study for this portrait. The Cardinal, in the crimson silk robes of his office, with the cross of the Order of St. Louis hung by a blue ribbon round his neck, stands as if just risen from the chair of state behind him."
