Gerrit van Honthorst

Paulus Pontius after Sir Anthony van Dyck

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man from the waist up. His body is slightly turned, and his face is facing the viewer. The man has long, curly hair, a mustache, and a goatee. He is dressed in a dark doublet with a white collar and a cloak draped over his shoulder. He is holding part of the cloak with his left hand. The background features a cloudy sky. Text at the bottom identifies him as Gerardus Honthorst, with additional inscriptions.
