Pierre Drevet after Hyacinthe Rigaud

National Gallery of Art

The image features a portrait of a person seated behind a ledge. The individual has a high forehead, a straight nose, slightly pursed lips, and eyes looking directly at the viewer. They have curly hair peeking out from under a fabric headpiece. The person wears a voluminous garment with textured fabric, dramatic folds, and decorative cuffs. They hold drawing tools and are positioned in front of an architectural background with engraved inscriptions below the ledge.
