Artus Wolfart

Cornelis Galle I after Sir Anthony van Dyck

National Gallery of Art

In the image, a person is shown from just below the chest up, with a focus on the upper body and head. The individual is in a slight three-quarter turn to the left, with hands draped in the garment in front of them. The person has a full beard, mustache, and well-groomed hair that is slightly wavy and receding at the temples. They are wearing a garment with a large lace collar and decorative buttons. There is no visible jewelry, and the hands appear to be holding the cloak around them. The background consists of a textured, dark space, which does not distract from the figure.
