Portrait of a Seated Man

Cornelis Ploos van Amstel (editor) and Johannes Kornlein (printmaker), after Cornelis Visscher

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man seated in a dignified posture, with one arm resting on a surface. His face is turned towards the viewer, and he has distinct facial features with a pointed mustache and delicate expression. He has styled hair with loose curls framing his face and is dressed in traditional period attire. Behind him, there is a draped curtain with a tassel and an architectural element, like a column, in the background.
