Two Seated Male Figures

Sir Anthony van Dyck

National Gallery of Art

The sketch shows two individuals in a seated position, with their full bodies slightly angled towards each other. Their facial features are depicted with simple lines and minimal detail. The hair of the individuals is represented with a few lines. The clothing appears to be long robes or cloaks, characterized by flowing, draped lines. There is no jewelry or specific objects in their hands. The background of the image is plain. The overall atmosphere of the sketch is informal and rough.
