Jean Loret

Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man from the chest up. He is facing slightly to his right with a serene expression. He has a mustache and long, wavy hair that reaches his shoulders. The man wears typical 17th-century clothing, including a collared garment and a buttoned doublet with a lace neck collar. He is enclosed within an oval frame within an intricate engraving. The background consists of a detailed, textured pattern. Engraved lines and inscriptions, including text at the bottom of the image, surround the frame.
