Marechal de Castelnau

Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man with a long face, a prominent nose, thin lips, and curly hair flowing over his shoulders and chest. He faces slightly left but looks at the viewer. He wears a large collar and an ornate garment, possibly ceremonial or military, with a breastplate. The portrait is in an oval frame with a crest at the bottom, and the background has textured lines around the man's head. Below the image is text in a decorative script within a rectangular panel.
