René II de La Jaille
1510 - 1572
François Clouet
French
René II de La Jaille is represented in simple unornamented dress. His short dark hair, which is inclined to curl, is brushed back from his face. There is a lively, almost mocking expression in his eyes, the faintest hint of a cynical smile on his lips.
