Portrait of a Clergyman

Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man from the waist up. He is facing forward with his hands resting on a surface in front of him, one holding a small open book or piece of paper with writing on it. The man's facial features include deep-set eyes, a prominent nose, and a long, full beard with a mustache. He has short hair that is slightly tousled. He is wearing a long, dark robe over a lighter-colored garment with a high collar that is intricately ruffled. The robe features a textured pattern with multiple buttons running down the front. There are no visible pieces of jewelry. The background is a simple, unadorned pattern of lines and shading, with a phrase inscribed at the upper left corner.
