Young Englishman (Lord John Stuart?)

Allan Ramsay, after Sir Anthony van Dyck

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch of a person standing in a relaxed position. The individual has long hair with a middle parting, an ambiguous facial expression, and is wearing a robe or tunic cinched at the chest. Additional draped fabric wraps around one shoulder and arm, flowing towards the legs. The garment shows textured details like folds and gathered fabric. The person is wearing boots and the background is minimally detailed with subtle shading.
