The subject of this portrait, by Jean François de Troy, was originally recorded as anonymous, but later said to be Andry; according to modern research, its subject cannot be reliably established, and there is no certain portrait of Andry.[1]
Nicolas Andry de Bois-Regard (1658 – 13 May 1742) was a French physician and writer. He played a significant role in the early history of both parasitology and orthopedics, the name for which is taken from Andry's book Orthopédie.
