Cornelis Bega

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper three-quarters of a person's body seated in a side view. Their head is turned in profile to the right. The person is wearing a beanie-like cap and a loose, textured garment with bulky folds. The person is seated on a chair with a visible wooden backrest consisting of several vertical slats. The background is sparsely detailed, comprised mainly of cross-hatching and etching marks.
