Jan Muller

National Gallery of Art

The image is a half-length portrait of a man seated. He has a beard, mustache, short hair under a cap, and wears a garment with a large ruffled collar. The man's body is turned slightly to the left but his face is directed towards the viewer. His left hand is open and held up, while his right hand is partially visible below. The background is plain without additional elements. The portrait is detailed with shading and cross-hatching. There is a hand-written inscription and a signature below the portrait.
