Michel Richard Delalande [de Lalande] was a French Baroque composer and organist who was in the service of King Louis XIV. He was one of the most important composers of grands motets. He also wrote orchestral suites known as Simphonies pour les Soupers du Roy and ballets.
Delalande is portrayed wearing the insignia of the order of Saint-Michel, with which he was conferred in 1722, but his features appear much as they were two decades earlier.
