# Inspirations

Several influences are visible in Largillierre's work. Among them, two influences can be seen in this portrait: the influence of the Flemish school, but also of the Dutch school.

These two influences can be seen in the treatment, with its very light skin color and emphasis on detail. They are also visible in the treatment of the dark background in brown cameos, which brings out the red color of the drapery and the paleness of the main character's face.

We also know that Largillierre's collection included paintings by Teniers Le Jeune and Rembrandt, which explains this influence.
