Portrait of a Seated Man

Niederländische Grafik 1730–1914, 1771

The image depicts a seated man with his upper body slightly angled to the right. He has a finely chiseled face with high cheekbones, a thin mustache, and a small beard on his chin. His hair is medium-length, wavy, and parted down the center. The man's right arm is resting on a surface with his hand elegantly posed. He is wearing a dark garment with a light collar and decorative buttons. The sleeves of the garment are voluminous and gather at the wrists. In the background, there is a large curtain with a tassel hanging down, and a piece of furniture or object to the right. The background is shaded to emphasize the subject.
