Jacques Auguste de Thou

Jean Morin after Louis Elle I

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man's upper body, focused on his face and shoulders. He is looking straight at the viewer, with a prominent forehead, strong cheekbones, and a well-defined nose. He has facial hair above his lip and on his chin, and his hair is short and receding. The man is dressed in dark, formal clothing with an elaborate ruffled collar. The background includes an oval-shaped frame with Latin text inscribed around it, set against a textured pattern.
