The Valet

Abraham Bosse

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing in a room. He is facing forward with both arms slightly extended to his sides, each holding a piece of clothing. He has curly hair that falls to his shoulders and a mustache. The man is dressed in opulent historical clothing, including a short, decorative jacket with large cuffs, knee-length trousers with ribbons at the knees, and shoes with large rosettes. Additional clothing is draped over a chair and a trunk. The background features a paneled wall with two leaded glass windows showing a landscape with a building and trees outside.
