The sitter was born in Paris in 1628, the son of the esteemed Marshal François Annibal d'Estrées. César d'Estrées earned eminence throughout his lifetime for his ambassadorial ingenuity, and was duly rewarded with several honours and distinctions: from 1655 to 1681 he was Duke-Bishop of Laon, from 1673 he acted as French ambassador to Rome, and in 1671 he was elected a Cardinal by Pope Clemente X. He is painted here wearing his Cardinal’s robes, and the collar of the Order of Saint-Esprit. The badge of this order is clearly depicted in the present lot in its Maltese Cross form, with a dove in the centre and four fleur-de-lis symbols between the arms.
