National Gallery of Art

The image displays three men's heads in profile within an ornate circular frame. Each head is shown from the shoulders up, facing left. The two figures on the left have shorter hair, while the figure on the right has long, wavy hair that flows past the shoulders. The men wear historical clothing with ruffled collars. The circular frame is adorned with a ribbon and laurel design, with the names "LOUIS XIII," "HENRI IV," and "LOUIS XIV" inscribed around the edge. A rectangular scroll below the frame contains elegant calligraphy. The background has a textured pattern, and the composition is set against a plain, light-colored backdrop with some visible spots.
