Sir Anthony van Dyck

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man from the waist up. The man is in a three-quarter view facing slightly to the right, looking up and to the left. He has distinctive facial features, including a strong nose, full beard with a mustache, and short wavy hair. He is wearing a garment with a wide ruff around the neck and buttons down the front. His right arm is bent at the elbow, with his hand resting on his midsection. The background has a textured and shaded surface, with a section resembling bricks on the top left and a plain area on the right. At the bottom of the image, text identifies the person as "ADAMVS VAN NOORT ANTWERPIE PICTOR ICONVM."
