Joannes Meyssens

Cornelis Galle I after Sir Anthony van Dyck

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts the upper half of a man's body. He is facing slightly to the left with his head turned towards the viewer, looking directly at the camera. The man has curly shoulder-length hair and a mustache. He is wearing a garment with a high collar, visible buttons, and drapery that appears formal. His right hand is resting against his chest. In the background, there is a painter's palette and a piece of artwork on a shelf. The setting suggests an artist's studio with architectural elements indicating an interior space.
