A Cooper

Willem Basse

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man standing in profile facing right. He has a bushy beard, mustache, and wears a hat. He is dressed in loose garments, knee-high boots, carries a coil of rope over his left shoulder, and holds a sword in its sheath in his left hand. The background shows a rustic scene with a simple dwelling or barn, barrels, trees, fields, and a few distant figures. The sky has sparse details with a few birds.
