Nicholas de Neufville, marquis de Villeroy is a 1625 ink by Jean Morin, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a mustache. He’s wearing a dark coat over a white shirt with a high collar. The edges of the picture are framed by fancy, carved lettering that spells out his name: *Nicholas de Neufville*. The artist used fine lines and shading to show the texture of his hair and clothes. The paper has a slightly rough look, like old paper. Next, look up etching to see how artists create detailed prints like this.
Jean Morin (c.1595 or 1605 – 1650) was a French baroque painter, printmaker, painter, etcher, engraver and publisher.
