Hugues de Lionne

Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man from the waist up. He is slightly turned to his left, looking directly at the viewer with a composed expression. The man has curly medium-length hair, a mustache, and is wearing an ornate garment with a star-shaped decoration on the sleeve and a ribbon across his chest. There is intricate lace detailing around his neck. The etching is in an oval frame with heraldic symbols and text underneath, set against a lined background pattern.
