Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a portrait of a man from the waist up. He is positioned slightly turned to his left, looking at the viewer. The man has an aged face with prominent features, light wavy hair down to his collar, and is dressed in a clerical robe with a white clerical collar over a darker garment. Latin text surrounds the oval frame holding the portrait. Below the portrait, there is a coat of arms in a circular design. The background has fine line work for a textured effect.
