Charles Jean Francois Henault is a 1772 ink by Charles-Etienne Gaucher, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a portrait of a man with curly white hair, wearing a dark jacket and a white cravat. The man is shown in profile, facing left, and is surrounded by an oval frame with a decorative border. The frame is adorned with intricate details, including a bow at the top and a plaque at the bottom with text that is too small to read. The overall style of the portrait suggests that it is from the Baroque period. The level of detail and craftsmanship in the engraving and etching on laid paper is impressive, making this a notable work in the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
