Jean IV, Duke of Bragance

Balthasar Moncornet

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts the upper body of a man facing slightly to the right, with his head turned toward the viewer. He has a moustache, a goatee, and medium-length wavy hair falling to his shoulders. The man is wearing a detailed Baroque-style outfit with a high ruffled collar, buttons, and a cross hanging from a cord around his neck. The background shows a public event with people gathered around a stage where a figure is addressing the crowd. The setting has architectural elements like a canopy and a tassel. The scene is enclosed within an oval frame, with text identifying the subject as Jean IV, King of Portugal and the Algarves.
