Jan de Wael

Anthonis van Dyck, probably 1626/1641

The image features the upper half of a man's body in a three-quarter view. He has a serious expression, with distinct facial features such as a pronounced nose and furrowed brows. The man's hair is short and receding, and he has a full beard and mustache. He is dressed in an outfit with an elaborate ruffled collar typical of his era. The background consists of lined patterns, creating depth and texture, in an intricately detailed etching. The bottom of the image includes text, including the name "IOANNES DE WAEL" and additional Latin inscriptions.
