Jean IV, Duke of Bragance is a 1634 ink by Balthasar Moncornet, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait depicts a man with a ruffled collar and a cross around his neck, set against an oval frame. The background features a cityscape with people and horses, while a tassel hangs from the top of the frame. The engraving showcases intricate details, including the subject's attire and the city scene. The use of cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture in the image. The level of detail and realism in this engraving is reminiscent of the work of Moncornet, Balthasar.
Balthasar Moncornet (1600, Rouen – 1668, Paris) was a French painter, engraver, and tapissier revered for his depictions of around 45 different prominent figures of the 17th century.
