Balthasar Moncornet

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait of a man showing his bust, with his upper torso visible. He is positioned facing slightly to his right while looking directly at the viewer. The man has a prominent mustache and a voluminous hairstyle that falls to his shoulders, characterized by loose curls. He is dressed in traditional attire, including a large collar and a buttoned doublet or coat. The fabric appears richly textured. Around his neck, there appears to be a decorative bow or tie. The man is not shown wearing any jewelry or holding any objects. In the background, behind the man’s right shoulder, there is a scene depicting hunting or a countryside landscape, including trees and a running animal. The top corners of the image feature decorative elements, with a coat of arms in the top left and a laurel wreath emblem on the top right. The border of the image is oval-shaped.
