Nicholas Boileau

François Chereau I after Hyacinthe Rigaud

National Gallery of Art

This is a portrait showing the upper body of a man, depicted from the chest up. He is positioned slightly turned to his left but looking forward, with a slight, content expression on his face. The man has deep-set eyes, a Roman nose, long, voluminous, curly hair cascading down to his shoulders, and is wearing a robe or cloak with a visible ruffled or cravat collar. The background is a plain, subtly textured surface.
