About this work

This portrait is an oval-shaped engraving of a man with shoulder-length, wavy hair. He wears a dark jacket with a white collar and a light-colored sash over his left shoulder, adorned with a large, decorative brooch. The background is a plain, light gray color. The man's attire and hairstyle suggest that the portrait was created in the 17th century. The level of detail in the engraving, particularly in the textures of the clothing and hair, indicates a high level of skill on the part of the artist. The artist who created this portrait was Nanteuil, Robert.
