Hardouin de Perefixe

Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man's upper torso, including his head and shoulders. The man is facing slightly to his right with his facial features visible. He has a high forehead, a well-defined nose, light facial hair framing his face, and medium-length hair curling at the ends. He is wearing a high-collared coat or robe with a large collar, fastened at the neck with a decorative bow. Attached to the collar is a star-shaped medallion. The background features a pattern of three-dimensional stars, and the entire image is encased in an oval frame.
