Robert Nanteuil after Charles Le Brun

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an engraved portrait of a man depicted from the chest up within an oval border. The man has long, curly hair, a mustache, and a tufted goatee. His facial expression is neutral, and he is dressed in formal attire with a wide-collared white ruff and a dark, textured outer garment. There is an insignia on his chest and several decorative elements surrounding the portrait. Engraved letters encircle the portrait, and a coat of arms is featured at the bottom within the frame. The background consists of closely spaced vertical lines.
