Michel Colbert

Peter Ludwig van Schuppen after Claude Lefebvre

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man with a pronounced nose, deep-set eyes, and a soft expression. He has medium-length, wavy hair parted with a visible tonsure, indicating he may be a member of the clergy. The man wears religious attire, including a high-collared garment with detailed patterns and a large cross pendant. The background features an ornate oval frame with Latin inscriptions, and at the bottom, there is an emblem or coat of arms with classical motifs. The style suggests an engraving or etching.
