Balthasar Moncornet after Henry Stresor

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a formal portrait of a person from the waist up. The person faces slightly to the left, with long curly hair flowing past their shoulders. The individual wears ornate armor and a sash across their chest. Intricate crests with crowns and designs are in the upper corners. In the background to the left, figures are depicted interacting under archways with celestial elements above. The portrait is enclosed in an oval frame with text identifying the subject.
