Jean-Baptiste Santeuil

Gerard Edelinck after Chevalier Dumee

National Gallery of Art

The engraving depicts an upper-body portrait of a seated man facing slightly to the right but looking directly at the viewer. The man has curly dark hair, a slightly smiling expression, and wears a robe, high-collared shirt, a ribbon tie, and a fur-lined cloak. His right hand holds a hat, while his left hand rests on a paper on the desk holding a quill. In the background, there is heavy draped fabric, shelves with books, and a table with books and papers.
