National Gallery of Art

The image is a painted portrait of a man seated in a chair. The man has fair skin, a round face, and curly brown hair. He is wearing a dark coat with a high collar over a white ruffled shirt, with a hint of a patterned vest showing. He is holding a white cloth in his hand on his lap. Beside him, there is a table with papers, an inkstand, and quills. The background is a muted green with texture.
