Chancellor Michel Le Tellier

Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man with his body depicted from the chest up. He is positioned facing the viewer, with his head slightly turned to the side. The man has curly, medium-length hair that frames his face and a neatly groomed goatee. His expression is calm and composed. He is wearing attire that includes a white, square collar over a dark garment. Adorning his clothing are two ornate insignias shaped like stars. The background consists of a textured, oval frame that encloses the portrait. The name "Michael le Tellier" is inscribed below the portrait.
