Portrait of a Young Man in Oil [reverse]

Netherlandish 17th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper half of a man's body. He is facing slightly to the right, with his head turned towards the viewer. The man has curly dark hair reaching his shoulders, a mustache, and a small goatee. He wears an elaborate garment with a broad lace collar and cuffs visible on his sleeves. The clothing appears richly adorned, possibly dark velvet, with intricate detailing. He holds a small, ornately decorated object in his right hand. The background is a dark, muted color with a textured canvas and signs of aging, with a small number "391" written in yellow on the left side.
