Charles-Ange Boily

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraving featuring the upper part of a man's body in a profile view. The man is facing to the right, displaying his head and upper chest. His facial details are intricate, with a prominent nose and a serene expression. His hair is styled in a curled fashion and tied at the back with a bow. He is dressed in a decorated coat and a high-collared, laced shirt. The drawing includes decorative elements like a floral and laurel wreath surrounding the man's profile in an oval frame. Beneath the frame, there is a sculpted mask and draped fabric. The background is textured with fine lines.
