Pierre de Weims

Balthasar Moncornet

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait showing the upper body of a man seated in a traditional pose for a formal portrait. He has a composed expression, with finely detailed facial features including a slight mustache and a small goatee. His hair is shoulder-length, wavy, and dark. He is dressed in formal attire, with a dark, buttoned-up garment and a crisp white collar. There is no visible jewelry, and he is not shown holding any objects. The background is a simple oval frame. Above the portrait, to the left, is a small coat of arms, and to the right, there is a laurel wreath design. The bottom of the image includes text identifying the person as Pierre de Weims, a plenipotentiary for the Maison de Bourgogne, along with a reference to Moncornet as the creator.
