Cardinal Charles de Bourbon

Jean de Gourmont I

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man seated in an ornate chair. He is positioned sideways but facing forward, with his left arm resting on a book on a table beside him. He has delicate features, a long narrow nose, a high forehead, light-colored hair covered by a cap, and is wearing an elaborate clerical robe. The robe is textured and detailed, with patterns cascading down to his feet. There are no jewelry or objects in his hands, and the background features intricate scrollwork, heraldic shields, and a tiled floor.
