Frederick Maurice de la Tour d'Auveregne, Duc de Bouillon is a 1634 ink by Balthasar Moncornet, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in fancy clothes. He wears a ruffled collar, a dark coat with buttons, and a cloak draped over his shoulders. His face is serious, with short hair and a mustache. Behind him, a small scene shows a building and trees. The name at the bottom calls him "Frideric Maurice de la Tour D’Avvergne," with titles like "Duc de Bouillon." The artist, Balthasar Moncornet, signed it and added a crest in the top corner.
