Adriaen van Ostade

National Gallery of Art

This image shows a person from the waist up with their body turned slightly to the left and head bent forward. The individual's facial features are obscured, and they have short hair beneath a large hat with a feather. The person wears a cloak or loose coat with folds covering the upper body, and their hands are clasped around the garment. The artwork is in a monochrome etching style with a plain background. A signature and the year 1647 are located to the right of the figure.
