François de Beauvillier

Michel Lasne

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man's upper body and head. He is facing forward but slightly turned to his left. The man has a large mole on his left cheek, long curly hair reaching his shoulders, and is wearing what looks like armor with ornate detailing. A lace collar is visible underneath. The portrait is enclosed in an elaborate oval frame against a backdrop with shaded lines for depth. Below the portrait, there are decorative elements, inscriptions, and a crest set against an aged parchment-like background.
