Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man from the waist up, facing slightly to his right but looking directly at the viewer. He has a calm expression with a prominent nose and thin lips. His hair is medium length, dark, and wavy, framing his face and extending to his shoulders. He is dressed in dark formal attire with a wide white collar and a pendant or brooch at his neck. The background features an oval frame with striped patterns and an ornate crest or coat of arms below it.
