Men in Seventeenth-Century Costumes [recto]

Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch depicting a group of seated individuals in profile. The drawing shows the figures' full bodies with varying levels of detail in their clothing and facial features. The individuals are wearing period-appropriate attire such as tall hats, loose-fitting garments with collars and capes. They have different facial features including beards and hairstyles of different lengths and styles. The setting lacks a detailed background, with a focus solely on the individuals. There is minimal shading and no color in the sketch.
