Francois de Harlay is a 1671 ink by Robert Nanteuil, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is an engraving of a man's portrait. He is shown from the chest up, facing forward. The man has curly hair and is wearing a dark jacket with a white collar and a star-shaped medal on his chest. The engraving is done in a detailed style, with many fine lines that give the image texture and depth. The background is dark, which helps the subject stand out.
