Gregorius Tarrisse

Balthasar Moncornet

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraving of an older man in a hooded garment. The man is facing slightly to his left, with his head turned to the right, allowing a three-quarters view of his face. His facial features are sharp and defined, with prominent cheekbones and a lined forehead, indicating his age. His hair is mostly covered by the hood. He wears a long cloak with a hood over his shoulders, and the fabric appears textured and patterned. There is no visible jewelry, and his hands are not shown. The background is a simple, evenly hatched texture that guides the viewer's focus to the central figure. An oval border frames the portrait, with an inscription below providing identification details about the individual.
