Cardinal de Bouillon

Antoine Masson after Nicolas Mignard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person depicted in a detailed engraving from the chest up, positioned three-quarters to the viewer, with their head slightly turned to the side. The individual has curly hair, full cheeks, and a serene expression. They wear clothing typical of nobility or clergy, including a high collar and textured garment, with a cross pendant around their neck. The portrait is enclosed within an ornate oval frame with inscriptions, a coat of arms, and decorative elements. The background features fine horizontal lines for texture.
