Jan de Wael

Anthony van Dyck

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a man with a receding hairline and short hair on the sides of his head. The man has a long beard and moustache. He wears a large, frilled collar and a billowy-sleeved shirt. The man is shown from the waist up, facing slightly to his right. The background consists of lines in varying densities, suggesting shading. The man stands in front of a vertical line that could represent a wall or pillar. There is a block of text in a foreign language across the bottom. The text reads "IOANNES DE WAEL" on the first line, and "ANTVERPIÆ PICTOR HUMANARVM FIGVRARVM" on the second line. The image is framed by a light-coloured border.
