Louis II de Bourbon-Condé

Balthasar Moncornet

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a bust-length portrait of a person identified as Louis de Bourbon, Duc d'Enghien. The individual faces slightly to their right, with their face turned towards the viewer. They have distinctive facial features characterized by a prominent nose and lips, and their hair is long, falling in curls around their shoulders. The individual is adorned in decorated armor with intricate detailing and a patterned, wide-collared piece. The background shows a busy battle scene with clouds above and numerous figures engaged in combat, labeled "la Bataille de Rocroy." The sketch is highly detailed, with a rich texture indicative of engraving.
