1649
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Pierre and Jacques Dupuy is a 1649 ink by Robert Nanteuil, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this painting, you see two oval portraits side by side. Each portrait shows a man wearing a dark jacket and a white collar. The men are wearing dark hats that cover most of their hair. The portraits are surrounded by a white border with letters on it. The background of the painting is a light brown color with thin, dark lines all over it. The portraits are very detailed, with lots of small lines that make the men's faces and clothes look realistic. The artist used a special technique to make the portraits look like they were drawn with a pen. This technique is called engraving.
