Henri-Auguste, Comte de Brienne

Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait engraving of a man. He is centered within an oval frame adorned with oak leaves and ribbons. He is facing slightly left, looking directly at the viewer. The man has a gentle expression, a prominent nose, and long, slightly wavy hair falling to his shoulders. He is wearing a dark cloak with a high collar and a white collar underneath. There is a decorative sash or ribbon diagonally across his chest, with a star-shaped insignia on his left shoulder. The background has delicate cross-hatching, contrasting with the ornamental frame. Below the portrait is a coat of arms with two lions and other heraldic elements in a symmetrical design.
