1658
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Chancellor Michel Le Tellier is a 1658 ink by Robert Nanteuil, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a portrait of a man with long, curly hair and a mustache. He is wearing a dark jacket with a large collar and a sash across his chest. The background is dark, and the man's face is the main focus of the image. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The level of detail in the engraving is impressive, with intricate lines and shading that give the image depth and texture. If you're interested in learning more about the Baroque movement, which this engraving is a part of, you might want to check out some other works by artists from that time period.
