Cardinal de Coislin

Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

This print shows a man from the waist up. He is turned slightly to the left, looking out at us with a neutral expression. The man has a high forehead, a long nose, and a small mustache. His hair is wavy and falls around his chin. He wears a formal garment with a large collar and buttons down the front. There is a circular frame around the portrait with an inscription along its border and a coat of arms below. The background of the print has a fine, crosshatched pattern.
