Antique painting on canvas portrait prelate ,French school 18th century

The figure is portrayed half-length with hands clasped in a devotional attitude, typical of ancient private portraits. He wears a white surplice and an ornate BLUE stole. Setting: The person stands in front of a dark background, with a cross and a book resting on a table covered with a red cloth in the left foreground. Style and period: The style of the portrait suggests an early work of art, potentially dating to the early 18th century. The oil on canvas demonstrates an excellent, very realistic hand from the very elaborate and well-executed drapery. mis.95 cm x 85 cm
