Remi Du Laury

Gerard Edelinck after Jacob van Oost II

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts the upper half of a seated man within an oval frame. The man faces left but looks directly at the viewer, with a round face, broad forehead, a prominent nose, and a slight smile. His gray, wavy hair reaches his neck, and he wears a fur-trimmed garment over a dark robe with a white collar showing at the neck. He holds a cross on a chain in his right hand and wears a ring on his little finger. The background is lightly shaded with a decorative emblem at the bottom, along with inscriptions in small font. The portrait is bordered with intricate lines and patterns.
