Charles, Count of Bucquoy

Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image displays an etching of a man shown from the torso up, oriented facing slightly to his left. His facial features include a prominent mustache and a well-defined chin, with curly hair that frames his face and falls onto his neck. He is wearing an elaborate outfit that appears to be armor or a decorative garment with a wide collar. A patterned sash or scarf is draped across his shoulder. The background is plain and textured with handwritten text above and below the figure, naming him as "Charles Longevall, Count of Bucquoy." The text at the bottom provides historical context about his military career.
