Anthonis van Dyck, probably 1626/1641

The image shows a man standing from the waist up. He is in a three-quarter view, with one arm across his abdomen. He has a strong facial structure with a prominent nose, bushy eyebrows, full beard, and a bald head. His hair is dark and closely cropped on the sides. He is wearing a buttoned cloak or robe with small, round buttons down the front. The fabric looks thick and layered, with visible folds and creases. The background has an abstract pattern of lines that contrasts with the detailed figure.
