Hubert Gravelot

Jean Massard after Maurice-Quentin de La Tour

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraved portrait of a man's upper body in profile, focusing on his face and shoulders. The man has curly short hair and detailed facial features, including prominent eyes, a slightly hooked nose, and a firm mouth. He wears a coat with a high collar and a shirt with ruffles. The portrait is enclosed by a circular ornate border with a decorative ribbon or bow at the top. The background has a textured, cross-hatched pattern, and the name "Hubert Gravelot" is inscribed below the portrait.
