Ferdinand de Neufville

Robert Nanteuil after Philippe de Champaigne

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraved portrait of a man's upper body. He is positioned in a slight three-quarter angle, turning slightly to his left while gazing directly forward. The man has a long, narrow face with a high forehead, a small mustache, and wavy hair that reaches just past his ears. He is wearing a clerical robe with a high, pointed white collar and a chain with a cross pendant around his neck. The background features an elaborate frame with decorative leaf motifs surrounding the portrait and an ornate pedestal below with a coat of arms, shield, and floral designs.
