Cardinal Guido Bentivoglio

Jean Morin, after Sir Anthony van Dyck

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraving of a man from the chest up. He is turned slightly to the left with his head tilted to the right. The man has a slender face with a prominent nose, arched eyebrows, a neatly trimmed beard and mustache, short and receding hair. He is dressed in a buttoned, collared shirt with a cloak draped over his shoulders. The engraving is within an octagonal frame with inscriptions around it. The background is a simple, dark texture that contrasts with the lighter tones of his clothing and face, emphasizing his features.
