Johann von Erlach

Johann Georg Wille after Carlo Francesco Rusca, Cavalier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man seated in an upright position. His face is visible with distinct features such as a full face, small eyes, and a straight nose. He has curly light hair that falls around his shoulders. He is dressed in an opulent robe with voluminous sleeves and buttons, a white ruffled shirt visible at the cuffs and collar, and a decorative medallion around his neck. He is holding a staff with an ornate handle in his right hand. On a table nearby are a hat, potentially books, and a tassel. A piece of armor with a feathered plume is in the foreground. The background features a draped curtain and a textured wall.
