Cardinal de Coislin is a 1666 ink by Robert Nanteuil, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is a portrait of a man with dark hair and a serious expression. He's wearing a dark jacket with buttons down the front and a white collar. The background is dark, and the man's face is the main focus. The man's hair is parted in the middle, and he has a bit of a mustache. His eyes are looking straight ahead, and his eyebrows are slightly furrowed. He's wearing a small cross around his neck. The portrait is done in a detailed, realistic style, with lots of fine lines and shading. It's a great example of Baroque art, which often featured dramatic lighting and intense emotions.
