Henry van der Borcht, Painter

Wenceslaus Hollar after Joannes Meyssens

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man from the waist up, positioned slightly turned to the side, with his gaze directed towards the viewer. He has long, wavy hair that falls to his shoulders and a mustache. His facial expression is neutral. He is clothed in a garment with a large collar and button detail. He is holding an open book with his left hand, and the page is visible to the viewer, showing briefly sketched figures. The background is a simple textured pattern without distinct objects.
