Jean d'Albon de Saint-André (1472–1549)

Jean d'Albon de Saint-Andre from 1600, attributed to Corneille de Lyon, depicts a French nobleman. The late date suggests this may be a copy or workshop version of an earlier portrait, as Corneille died around 1575. Corneille de Lyon's intimate bust-length portraits of French court figures, painted on small panels with cool, clear color and precise attention to individual physiognomy, created an influential model for French portraiture that persisted through the later sixteenth century.

The portrait follows Corneille's established format of the bust portrait on a colored ground, though the late date may indicate workshop or later execution.
