1658
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Basile Fouquet is a 1658 ink by Robert Nanteuil, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is an engraving of a man's head and shoulders, shown in an oval frame. The man has long, wavy hair and is wearing a dark jacket with a white collar and a sash or ribbon across his chest. He is looking to the left of the picture. The background of the engraving is dark, which helps the man's face and hair stand out. The engraving is done in fine lines, with lots of detail in the man's hair and clothing. This engraving is a great example of the Baroque movement.
Robert Nanteuil (French pronunciation: ; 1623 – 9 December 1678) was a French portrait artist: engraver, draughtsman and pastellist to the court of Louis XIV.
