Gilles Demarteau, the Elder after Carle Van Loo

National Gallery of Art

The image is a drawing of a man seated with his back facing the viewer. He is in a seated pose with one leg extended forward and the other leg bent. He leans slightly backward and supports his body with one hand on the surface behind him. The man has short wavy hair and is turning his head slightly to the side, showing his facial features in profile. He does not appear to be wearing any clothing or jewelry. The background is a soft, shaded area that outlines the figure, focusing on the man's form. At the bottom of the artwork, there are inscriptions: "Carle Vanloo f." and "Demarteau l.' Anc."
