Pierre Bouchu

Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man in formal clergy attire seated with a calm expression. His face is visible, turned slightly towards the viewer, with short hair that closely follows the shape of his head. He wears a high-collared garment and a cross pendant around his neck. The portrait is encased within an oval frame with script around it, set against a background of delicately engraved lines.
