Jean-Pierre Sarrazin

Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man depicted from the chest up. He is facing forward with a slight turn to his right. He has long, wavy hair that falls just below his shoulders. His facial features include a mustache and a closed-lip smile, with prominent eyes and a smooth complexion. He is wearing a wide-collared garment with a detailed tie or brooch at the neck, and a draped fabric over his shoulders. The background consists of a detailed engraved oval frame with inscriptions, and below the portrait, there is a panel with text, all set against a lined backdrop.
