Mr. Van Vechten

Amerikanische Malerei 1720–1765, 1719

This painting depicts a man standing, seen from the waist up. He has one hand resting on his hip and the other pointing downwards towards the bottom-left corner of the painting, holding two small objects that look like pieces of wheat. He has a slight smile, pale skin, a long nose, and long, dark hair falling in waves to his shoulders. He is wearing a brown coat with large buttons and wide cuffs, a matching waistcoat, and a white cravat. The background shows dark red-brown drapery on the right and an outdoor scene on the left, perhaps a window, showing tall, slender trees under a dark blue sky.
