Robert van Voerst after Sir Anthony van Dyck

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man in a bust-length portrait within an oval frame. He is facing slightly to the right with a serious expression. He has a beard, mustache, long curly hair, and wears an elaborate outfit with a lace collar, doublet, and sash. The portrait is highly detailed with intricate line work, and the background inside the oval frame has a dot and line pattern. There is a decorative border with text in capital letters surrounding the oval. Below the image, there is a wider border with a script revealing the man's name, titles, engraver's attribution, and the year "1631".
