Balthasar Moncornet

Artist, French, c. 1600 - 1668

The image shows a portrait of a person in ornate armor with long curly hair, a prominent mustache, and a pointed beard. He is positioned slightly turned to the left, looking directly at the viewer with a neutral expression. His hand rests on a baton, and a cross of the Order is visible on his chest. The background depicts a scene that seems like a battle or military camp, with clouds and distant landscape elements. The portrait is framed in an oval shape.
