Philippe Cayeux

Louis-Simon Lempereur after Charles-Nicolas Cochin II

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a side view of a man's bust, with the head and shoulders visible. The man has distinct facial features, including a prominent nose and closed lips. He has curly, voluminous hair styled in an 18th-century fashion. The man is wearing a formal garment, possibly a coat or robe, without visible embellishments. The image is set within a circular frame with a ribbon-like design at the top. The background is textured, contrasting with the detailed engraving of the man. The name "P. CAYEUX" is printed below the circle. There are no visible jewelry or objects held by the man.
