Clement de Jonghe

Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts the upper half of a person seated on a chair. The individual is leaning slightly toward the left, with their left arm resting on the chair's arm and the right hand positioned on their lap. They have narrow eyes, a straight nose, slightly parted lips, and shoulder-length hair beneath a wide-brimmed hat. The person is dressed in a loose, buttoned garment with a collar, gloves, and a cloak or similar outer garment draping over their shoulders. The background is plain and textured, with a suggestion of a rounded arch or structure drawn above and behind the seated figure.
