1661
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Jules, Duc d'Enghien is a 1661 ink by Robert Nanteuil, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image is a black and white engraving of a man with long, curly hair and a serious expression. He is wearing a white shirt with a high collar and a dark jacket with metal armor on his left shoulder. The background is plain, with a circular border around the man's head and shoulders. The man's face is the main focus of the image, with intricate details in his hair and clothing. The engraving technique used to create the image is evident in the fine lines and textures that make up the man's features and attire. This image is a great example of the Baroque movement, which emphasized dramatic lighting and detailed realism.
Robert Nanteuil (French pronunciation: ; 1623 – 9 December 1678) was a French portrait artist: engraver, draughtsman and pastellist to the court of Louis XIV.
