Abraham Aurelius, Minister of the French Church in London

Robert van Voerst

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing from just below the waist up. He is in a poised position, with his left hand resting on a table holding an open book and his right hand holding a closed book. The man has a full beard and mustache, closely cropped hair, and a solemn expression. He is wearing a period-appropriate robe with large sleeves, detailed buttons, and a ruffled collar. There is no visible jewelry. The background has a vertical textured pattern on the right side. The portrait is framed by text above and below.
