Francois de Villemontee

Jean Morin after Philippe de Champaigne

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait showing the upper half of a man's body. He is positioned facing slightly to his right, with his head turned towards the viewer. The man has a narrow face, a mustache, and a thin beard on his chin. His hair is medium-length and wavy, extending to the level of his shoulders. He is wearing a formal garment, which looks like a robe with pleated detailing, and a white collar with a tassel at the neck. The background consists of a detailed line-engraved texture, and the portrait is framed within an octagonal border with engraved text running along its edges. The text on the frame contains various inscriptions.
