Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

This image is a portrait of a man from the upper half of his body, slightly turned to his right. The man has distinct facial features, including a prominent nose and a high forehead. His hair is of medium length, wavy, and graying. He is wearing a clerical collar and has a decorative badge pinned to his garment in the shape of a Maltese cross. The background is simple, with the man framed within an oval border surrounded by horizontal lines. Below the oval, there is a coat of arms and French script, indicating the name "Hardouin de Péréfixe Archevêque de Paris," along with additional decorative motifs.
