Brunet de Neuilly is a 1752 ink by Charles-Nicolas Cochin II, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a high collar. His face is turned slightly to the side, and he wears a bow at his neck. Above his head, there’s a decorative bow made of leaves or ribbon. The name "Brunet de Neuilly" is printed at the bottom, suggesting this is a formal portrait. The artist used fine lines to show texture in the hair and fabric. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
Charles-Nicolas Cochin II (1757–1757) was an artist.
