Karel de Mallery

Lucas Emil Vorsterman after Sir Anthony van Dyck

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait engraving of a man identified as Carolus de Mallery. He is depicted in a three-quarter view, with defined facial features, a short beard, mustache, and medium-length wavy hair. He is wearing a garment with a large ruffled collar, and his right arm is crossed in front of him, holding onto draped fabric. His expression is contemplative as he looks into the distance. There is no visible jewelry, and his left hand is resting on the fabric. The background consists of crosshatched lines and an architectural element, possibly a column, is visible to his right.
