Gerhard van Suchtelen

Niederländische Malerei 1660–1672, c. 1666

This painting depicts a person standing indoors, slightly turned to the right. They have pale skin, long, curly, reddish-brown hair, a faint mustache, blue eyes, and pink lips in a neutral expression. Their right hand is touching their chest, and their other hand is hidden under their cloak. Their legs are slightly crossed. The person wears a dark cape over a black doublet, a white shirt with ruffled cuffs, an ornate lacy collar, a knee-length black skirt, black stockings, and black shoes with ruffles. In the background, there is a chair on the left with a pale-pink cushion, a table on the right with a pale-pink tablecloth and a black hat on top of it, and a plain gray wall in the background.
