story of the work:

Jean Morin, a French artist active in the early 17th century, is known for his engravings rather than paintings, and there is no widely recognized work titled "Anne-Sophie Herbert, Comtess de Carnarvon" attributed to him. It is possible that there is confusion or misattribution regarding this artwork, as Morin's oeuvre primarily consists of engraved portraits and religious subjects.

Description of the work:

The engraving "Anne-Sophie Herbert, Comtess de Carnarvon" by Jean Morin depicts a finely detailed portrait of the Comtess, characterized by intricate line work that captures the texture of her elaborate attire and the delicate features of her face. The composition is marked by a strong sense of realism and depth, achieved through Morin's adept use of shading and contrast, which enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure against a subtly rendered background.
