Artist, French, 1623 - 1678

The image depicts a man from the chest up. The man faces forward with his body slightly turned to the right. He has a delicate face with a slightly pointed chin, a straight nose, and a subtle smile. He has medium-length curly hair framing his face. He wears a historical garment with a wide collar and a dark buttoned jacket. The clothing appears to be from an earlier era, possibly the 17th century. Surrounding him is an oval decorative border with intricate detailing. Below the border is a shield with two crossed keys and a crown-like ornament. The background has fine horizontal lines.
