Sir Anthony van Dyck

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an etching of a seated man from the waist up. He is sitting in a dignified pose with his head slightly turned to the left, eyes looking forward. The man has a beard, mustache, and short wavy hair. He wears a ruffled collar common in the Renaissance era, with buttons on the front of his garment. One hand rests on his lap, while the other is hidden. The background is simple, emphasizing the man.
