Jacques Sarazin the Elder

Charles-Nicolas Cochin I

National Gallery of Art

The engraving depicts an upper-body portrait of a man positioned inside an architectural oval frame. The man is seated, with his right arm bent at the elbow and hand resting on the frame. He has long, wavy hair, a mustache, and a steady gaze. He wears a buttoned coat with a visible white shirt collar. In front of the frame is a carved bust of a woman's head, along with a quill and inkwell on a pedestal. The background features a textured surface, with inscriptions at the base describing Jacques Sarazin and his professional titles.
