Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man from the shoulders up. The man is facing forward with a slight turn to his right. He has a serious expression, a prominent nose, and a mustache. He has curly, shoulder-length hair and appears to be wearing a cap. The man is dressed in a dark garment with detailed embroidery and a large, white collar tied at the neck. The background is simple and monochrome, enclosed within an oval frame.
