Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man. He is facing slightly towards his right, offering a three-quarter view to the observer. The man has a calm expression with gentle eyes, a medium-sized nose, and a slightly curved mouth. His hair is medium-length and tousled, with a soft wave framing his face. He is dressed in a traditional clerical outfit with a white collar and wears a chain with a large cross pendant around his neck. The background is a decorative oval frame with an inscription and textured appearance with horizontal lines.
