Gentleman Seen from Behind

Pieter Jansz Quast

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a standing person from the back. The person is posed with one leg slightly forward, leaning on a cane held in their right hand. They have long, curly hair cascading down their back. They wear a tall, wide-brimmed hat adorned with a large feather, a fitted doublet with decorative rosettes and puffed sleeves, breeches, high frilled boots with heels, and a draped cape over the left shoulder. The background is plain.
