Happy birthday to our pal, Michel de Montaigne, born 493 years ago today! 🎉

Colorful confetti over a black and white engraved portrait of Michel de Montaigne.

Montaigne is depicted as a middle-aged man, with a mustache and a goatee. He is wearing a ruff and a black hat that covers his receding hairline. He is staring at the viewer with a calm expression.

There is no known portrait of Montaigne, only imagined or possible portraits, most, if not all, done after or long after his death. This engraving, by Augustin de Saint-Aubin, is from 1774.
