The Portrait of Olivier Lefevre is a remarkable painting by French artist Philippe de Champaigne, created around 1654. Olivier Lefevre, the subject of the portrait, was a member of the Parliament of Paris, who later died in 1686. This oil-on-canvas rendition is noteworthy for its masterful combination of dignified representation and intimate verisimilitude.

In the portrait, Lefevre is depicted wearing formal court attire against a dark background, with the artist rendering minute detail to his regalia and facial features. The pose and costume of Lefevre highlight his social status, while the meticulous portrayal of his face reflects a personal and psychological depth that is a characteristic trait of Champaigne's work.

Interestingly, Champaigne has achieved a striking verisimilitude while following the formal conventions of 17th-century portraiture. The cool color palette, together with the play of light and shadow, creates a balanced composition. He superbly captures the texture of Lefevre's clothing, accentuating the opulence of his attire and status. Despite its formal nature, the painting also invites viewers into a deeper understanding of Lefevre's personality, registering subtleties of his mood and character.

Few known copies of this original work exist today, making it a rare piece of 17th century French portraiture. The original is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. The Portrait of Olivier Lefevre, like other works by Philippe de Champaigne, stands as an outstanding example of French Baroque painting, characterized by its fine balance between ceremonial representation and psychological depth.
