Armand de Bourbon, Prince de Condi

Claude Mellan

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraved portrait of a young person from the waist up. The individual is positioned slightly turned to the left but looking directly at the viewer. They have defined features, soft eyes, and curly hair that frames the face, reaching almost to the shoulders. The person is wearing a period-style outfit with a large white collar over a dark garment, fastened with a neck brooch. The clothing appears to be formal and is detailed with textures akin to rich fabric, such as velvet or silk. The portrait is set within an oval frame, accompanied by a coat of arms and initials "AD" below. The background features lined etching work that fills the space within the oval and extends onto the rest of the page.
