Seated Cavalier

Attributed to Jan Philipz van Bouckhorst

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a full-body sketch of a person seated on a stool, with one leg crossed over the other. The figure is turned slightly to the left, with their left arm resting on the back of the seat and their right hand raised slightly. The person's facial features are simple, with a slightly open mouth, small eyes, and defined eyebrows. Their hair is represented with short, wavy lines under a wide-brimmed hat. They are wearing a detailed top with ruffled cuffs and a collar, as well as pants and shoes. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is plain, emphasizing the sketched figure.
