Basile Fouquet

Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a person's upper body, including the head and shoulders. The person is slightly turned to the left, with their face looking at the viewer. They have wavy, shoulder-length hair, a long nose, full lips, and a subtle smile. The person is dressed in formal attire with a dark, richly-textured garment, a star-shaped decoration, and a wide collar underlay. They are also wearing a sash across their chest. The background has an ornate, oval frame with decorative lines radiating outward. Inside the frame at the bottom is an emblem or crest featuring a lion.
