Old restorations. 140 x 106 cm Jean-Louis Arnault (ca. 1160-before June 1707), who became a general farmer in 1702. Provenance: Chacenay castle (Aube), kept in the same family. Bibliography: Les Sires et les barons de Chacenay by Abbé Lalore, Troyes, Librairie Léopold Lacroix, 1885 (with reversal of attribution between the two portraits of the couple). The attribution to Louis de Boullogne has been passed down through family tradition. An alternative proposal to return this painting to Nicolas Fouché has been suggested.
