Cavalier with a Harlot

Netherlandish 17th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of two individuals, capturing their upper bodies and faces. The person on the left is slightly turned towards the right, with a gentle tilt of their head. Their facial features are soft with delicate lines, and they have voluminous hair. The person on the right is depicted wearing an elaborate headpiece composed of large feather-like shapes. Their facial expression is more defined with visible lines. Their hair is styled in ringlets that frame the face. The clothing of the figures is indicated by flowing lines, with the left figure wearing a necklace. The background is a neutral, textured surface.
