Cardinal Mazarin

Jean Morin after Philippe de Champaigne

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man positioned frontally but slightly turned to his left. He has a middle-aged appearance with a prominent nose, thin lips, and a slight moustache. His hair is shoulder-length, wavy, and appears to be thinning on top. He is wearing what seems to be ecclesiastical clothing, including a robe with a large collar and a tassel. The man is surrounded by an ornate, octagonal frame with inscriptions on it. The background is plain and textured, focusing attention on the subject.
