Paulus Pontius

Anthonis van Dyck, probablement 1626/1641

The image shows an engraving of a person from the waist up, positioned in a three-quarter view facing to the right. The person has curly hair, a mustache, distinct facial features including prominent eyes, and a strong gaze directed to the side. They wear a garment with buttons down the front and a ruffled collar, with draped fabric across the shoulders and extending downward. The etching highlights the texture and folds of the clothing. The person's hands are resting at waist level, and there is no visible jewelry. The background has a finely lined texture with no discernible objects, emphasizing the figure as the central focus.
