1665
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Louis Doni d'Attichy is a 1665 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 face. He wears a dark collar and a cross around his neck. Below him is a coat of arms with a crown and strange symbols. The artist used tiny lines to create shading, giving the face depth. This style is called cross-hatching. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
Robert Nanteuil (French pronunciation: ; 1623 – 9 December 1678) was a French portrait artist: engraver, draughtsman and pastellist to the court of Louis XIV.
