A handsome and rare engraved portrait of the important French composer, harpsichordist, and organist Jean-Henrit of d'Anglebert who is shown elegantly in his official robes but nonetheless markedly cross-eyed. This appears to be the only portrait known of this musician.

The engraving was executed by Cornelis Martinus Vermeulun (c. 1644-1708), Antwerp, after a portrait by Pierre Mignard I (1612-95). Mignard was an important French portraitist who was appointed as the first painter to Louis XIV.

D'Anglebert entered the service of Louis XIV in 1662 as "ordinaire de la chambre du Roy pour le clavecin". He is depicted in that post here, and held the position until his death in 1691. D'Anglebert wrote major harpsichord works and a treatise on keyboard harmony, having significant input into the development of French keyboard ornamentation. As per Grove VI, d'Anglebert's harpsichord music is undoubtedly the finest we have of the French school between the appearance of Chambonnière's 2 Livres de Clavecin in the early 1670s and the publications of the first decade of the 18th century.
