Christophe de Thou is a 1645 ink by Jean Morin, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man in a fur collar and ruffled shirt. His face is framed by a round border with fancy text around it. The lines are sharp, and the paper looks textured, like old paper. The name "Christophe de Thou" is written at the bottom, which might be who this is. The artist signed it "Morin," likely Jean Morin.

Jean Morin (c.1595 or 1605 – 1650) was a French baroque painter, printmaker, painter, etcher, engraver and publisher.
