Jean Lenfant

The image shows a portrait of a man from the chest upwards. The man is facing slightly to his right with a slight smile. He has a prominent mustache and long curly hair. He is wearing a dark robe or cloak over a light-colored, wide-collared shirt. The background is a stone wall pattern and the portrait is framed by an ornate, braided oval frame with ribbon embellishments at the top. Below the portrait frame, there is a decorative architectural element featuring a coat of arms.
