1654
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Georges de Scudery is a 1654 ink by Robert Nanteuil, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a serious expression. He’s wearing a dark, ruffled collar and a high-necked coat. The background is plain, but his face is framed by a wavy oval border made of lines. The text below his name says he was a governor and captain, but you can’t see his actual job or title in the image itself. Want to see how this kind of detailed linework is made? Look up engraving.
Robert Nanteuil (French pronunciation: ; 1623 – 9 December 1678) was a French portrait artist: engraver, draughtsman and pastellist to the court of Louis XIV.
