Pierre Dupuy

Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man from the chest up. The man has a long, oval-shaped face with a high forehead, prominent cheekbones, and short, graying hair. He wears a cap and a dark coat with a high collar and buttons. The portrait is framed within an oval border, with an ornate coat of arms below it, featuring two lions flanking a shield. The background has parallel lines for texture, typical of an engraved portrait. Below the coat of arms is text, likely identifying the individual.
