Portrait of a Man Standing

Sir Anthony van Dyck

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of a man posed from head to just above his knees. He is standing with his left leg slightly bent, holding a hat in his left hand and his cloak in his right hand. The man has distinct facial features including a prominent chin, slightly arched eyebrows, and a composed expression. His short hair is receding at the front and appears to be brushed back. He is dressed in a large, ruffled collar, a long-sleeved garment, and a cloak over his shoulders. The background is plain, emphasizing the man's portrait.
