Cardinal de Bouillon

Claude Mellan

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraving of a bust of a man from the chest upwards. The man is facing slightly to the right with a neutral expression. He has medium-length wavy hair, prominent eyes, and is dressed in formal attire with a large, collared garment and an ornate medal hanging from his neck. A coat of arms is engraved on the pedestal of the bust. The background is plain with no additional elements, focusing solely on the figure.
