Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man in a half-length portrait positioned to the left, with long wavy hair falling to his shoulders. His facial features include a straight nose, a composed expression, and a slight smile. He wears traditional attire consisting of a wide-collared shirt, a dark gown with buttons, and a draped outer garment. The framed portrait is bordered with an oak leaf and acorn motif, decorative medallions in the corners, and a central crest above and below. The background is unobtrusive.
