François La Rochefoucauld

Michel Lasne

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man from the waist up facing forward with his head slightly turned to the left. He has distinct facial features including a prominent brow, deep-set eyes, wide nose, and a subtle smile with a neatly trimmed mustache and small beard. He has somewhat curly hair under a squared cap. The man is wearing priestly attire, including a high-collared shirt, buttoned garment, and cloak. He has a chain around his neck with a large cross-shaped medallion. The background is plain, and the image is enclosed in an oval frame.
