Henri II de Lorraine, marquis de Mouy 1646 - 1656

"Henri II de Lorraine, marquis de Mouy" is a 17th-century engraving by Robert Nanteuil, a master of portraiture, depicting Henri II de Lorraine. Nanteuil captures Henri's likeness in detail, emphasizing his strong features and long, flowing hair. The subject wears a richly decorated armor, conveying his military status. The portrait is framed by a triple oval, drawing attention to the sitter's presence. This print, currently in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies Nanteuil's skilled use of line and shading, characteristic of the French Baroque period.
