"Portrait of Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632–1687), French Composer and Operatic Director, Engraved by Jean Louis Roullet (1645–1699)" is an engraved portrait of the renowned French Baroque composer, instrumentalist, and music director Jean-Baptiste Lully. The work was created by the French artist Paul Mignard, whose artistic career spanned the latter half of the 17th century, a period known for its rich cultural and artistic production in France. The portrait is significant for its depiction of Lully, a pivotal figure in the development of French opera and the establishment of a distinct French musical style during the reign of Louis XIV.

Jean-Baptiste Lully, born Giovanni Battista Lulli in Italy, was naturalized as a French citizen and rose to prominence in the French court, eventually becoming the superintendent of the king's music. Lully's influence extended beyond composition; he was instrumental in shaping the structure of French opera, including the tragédie en musique (tragedy in music) and the comédie-ballet, collaborating with playwright Molière.

The engraver, Jean Louis Roullet, was an accomplished French artist known for his skill in engraving, which was a highly regarded art form during the period. Engravings were essential for disseminating the likenesses of important figures and were often used to illustrate books and create standalone portraits for collectors.

Paul Mignard, the artist responsible for the original work from which Roullet's engraving is derived, was part of the Mignard family of painters, which included his uncle, Nicolas Mignard, and his father, Pierre Mignard the Elder, both of whom were prominent artists in their own right. Paul Mignard's work contributed to the visual documentation of important personalities of his time, capturing the essence of French Baroque aesthetics.

The "Portrait of Jean-Baptiste Lully" by Paul Mignard, engraved by Jean Louis Roullet, is not only a representation of a key figure in the history of music but also an example of the collaborative nature of art production in the Baroque era. It reflects the interconnectedness of visual arts and music, as well as the importance of patronage and the role of the artist in the cultural milieu of 17th-century France.
