Gerard de Lairesse

Pieter Schenck I after Gerard de Lairesse

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts the upper body of a man. He is facing slightly to his left, with his head turned towards the viewer in a three-quarter profile view. He has curly hair falling to his shoulders and strong facial features with a prominent gaze. The man is dressed elaborately, wearing a voluminous coat with wide sleeves and ornate lace cuffs. A luxurious draped fabric surrounds him. In the background to the left, there is a classical bust on a pedestal. The image is framed with dark tones and engraved text, including an inscription that reads "GERARDUS LARESSE PICTOR LEODIENSIS."
