Don Philippe, Infant d'Espagne is a 1740 ink by Jean-Joseph Balechou, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a portrait of a man with curly hair, dressed in 18th-century attire, including a velvet jacket and a lace-trimmed shirt. He is positioned in front of a circular frame, which is adorned with a coat of arms at the bottom. The background of the portrait is a plain gray color. The man's facial expression is neutral, and his gaze is directed towards the viewer. His attire suggests that he is a member of the nobility or aristocracy. The coat of arms at the bottom of the frame may indicate his family crest or title. This portrait is a fine example of Baroque art, characterized by its use of rich colors and detailed ornamentation.
