Fouet

Thomas de Leu after Daniel Dumonstier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraved portrait of a man from the shoulders up. He faces the viewer while looking slightly to the left. The man has a defined face with a straight nose, deep-set eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard and mustache. He has dark, wavy hair styled back from his forehead and is dressed in formal attire with a lace ruff collar. The background is an intricately detailed oval frame with surrounding text "SPE SMEA COPTA FOVET" and additional text below the image. Fine line detailing is present outside the oval frame.
