Partial replica in reduced format of a large lost portrait known from the engraving by Jacques-Nicolas Tardieu (see opus quoted above, n°P.146). Louis-Jacques d'Audibert de Lussan was born at Château de Bain-sur-Bains, in the diocese of Viviers. He embarked on a military career, becoming a cavalry captain and receiving the Croix de Saint-Louis, before entering the seminary of the Compagnie de Saint-Sulpice and earning a doctorate in theology. He then taught at the Angers seminary, before becoming vicar general to the bishop of Saint-Omer. In September 1743, he was chosen by the diocese of Périgueux, initially to succeed Jean-Chrétien de Macheco de Prémeaux, who was to be promoted to the archbishopric of Bordeaux. However, when the latter refused to leave Périgueux, Louis-Jacques was appointed Archbishop of Bordeaux himself. Confirmed on March 16, he was consecrated by Simon-Pierre de La Corée, Bishop of Saintes. He took possession of his archdiocese on November 28, 1745.
