Pierre Lallemant

Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraving featuring a portrait of a man. He is portrayed looking directly at the viewer with a calm expression. The man has a prominent forehead, short and combed-back thinning hair, and wears ecclesiastical attire, including a loose-fitting garment with pleated detailing and a distinctive collar. Fabric drapes over his shoulders, likely part of his robe. The portrait is enclosed in an ornate oval frame with an inscription along its border. The background features intricate line work that contrasts with the smooth rendering of the man's figure.
