Charles V, Duke of Lorrain is a 1660 by Robert Nanteuil, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in a circular frame. He wears a white shirt with a fancy metal chest plate over it. His curly hair is shoulder-length, and he looks serious. The border has Latin words carved into it, and a small coat of arms sits below his chin. The artist signed it in the corner with a date, 1660. Look up Baroque next to see how this style shaped portraits.
Robert Nanteuil (French pronunciation: ; 1623 – 9 December 1678) was a French portrait artist: engraver, draughtsman and pastellist to the court of Louis XIV.
