Pompone de Bellievre is a 1650 ink by Robert Nanteuil, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is an engraving of a man. He's wearing a fancy robe with a fur collar, and his hair is curly. The background is dark, but there's a circle around him with words written in it. The man looks serious, but there's a hint of a smile on his face. His eyes are looking straight at you, and his eyebrows are slightly raised. The fur collar on his robe is really detailed, with lots of texture and shading. This engraving is an example of Baroque art, which was popular in Europe during the 17th century.
