Antoine Barillon

Robert Nanteuil

National Gallery of Art

This is an engraved portrait showing the upper body of a man turned slightly to his left, gazing toward the viewer. The man has long, wavy hair that falls to his shoulders and facial hair that includes a mustache and a small beard. He wears a dark, long-sleeved robe with a wide, white collar. Surrounding the portrait is an oval frame with an inscription, and below it is a heraldic shield with a crown. The background of the image is filled with delicate linework that adds texture behind the man's head, contained within the oval frame.
