Paul, sire d'Andouins (1520-62), c.1545, is a notable portrait attributed to the studio of François Clouet, a prominent French Renaissance painter. François Clouet, known for his detailed and realistic portraits, was the court painter to King Francis I of France and his successors. The painting is believed to have been created around 1545, during a period when Clouet and his workshop were highly active in producing portraits of the French nobility.

The subject of the portrait, Paul, sire d'Andouins, was a French nobleman who lived during the 16th century. Born in 1520, he held the title of "sire," a term used to denote a lord or gentleman of high rank. The portrait captures him at a relatively young age, around 25 years old, which was a common practice in Renaissance portraiture to commemorate the sitter's status and appearance at the prime of their life.

The painting exemplifies the meticulous attention to detail and the refined technique characteristic of Clouet's studio. The sitter is depicted with a composed and dignified expression, dressed in the elaborate and fashionable attire of the French court. The use of rich fabrics, intricate embroidery, and the careful rendering of textures highlight the sitter's wealth and social standing. The background is typically plain, drawing attention to the subject's face and attire, a hallmark of Clouet's portrait style.

Clouet's portraits are celebrated for their lifelike quality and the subtle psychological insight they provide into the sitter's character. Although it is not definitively known whether Clouet himself painted this portrait or if it was the work of his studio, the piece remains an important example of mid-16th century French portraiture.

The painting is part of a larger body of work that has contributed significantly to our understanding of the French Renaissance and the individuals who shaped its cultural and political landscape. Through portraits like that of Paul, sire d'Andouins, Clouet and his studio have left an enduring legacy that continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical value.
