Jean Pesne after Nicolas Poussin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man in a bust-length portrait. He is facing slightly left with a gaze towards the viewer. The man has well-defined facial features, a prominent nose, and lips set in a neutral expression. He has long, wavy hair, and is wearing a draped garment with intricate shading. He holds a scroll tied with a ribbon in his right hand. In the background, there are stacked picture frames, with an image of a classical figure wearing a crown visible in one frame. The background is intricately engraved with detailed line work.
