Jean Le Feron is a 1634 ink by Balthasar Moncornet, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is an engraving of a man, likely a portrait. The man is shown from the chest up, facing forward with a neutral expression. He has long, curly hair and is wearing a large hat and a cloak with a high collar. In the background, there is a landscape with trees, hills, and a body of water. The engraving is done in a detailed style, with intricate lines and textures that give the image depth and dimension. The artist's use of cross-hatching creates a sense of volume and shading, adding to the overall realism of the portrait.
