Francois Potier, marquis de Gevres

Jean Morin after Philippe de Champaigne

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait showcasing the upper body of a man depicted in an intricately illustrated style. The man is positioned at an angle, turned slightly to his right, with his gaze facing forward. His facial features include a pointed nose, pursed lips, and a calm expression. His hair is styled in loose, wavy curls just below his ears. He is wearing historical armor with a lace collar underneath. His left hand is either tucked into his clothing or holding a piece of it. The portrait is framed by a detailed border with French inscriptions and a subtle pattern behind the man.
