National Gallery of Art

The image shows a profile portrait of a man with detailed facial features, styled hair, and traditional clothing. The man is facing the right side of the image. He has a strong nose and a forward-looking gaze. His hair is short on top, curled at the sides, and tied back with a ribbon. He is wearing a dark coat with large buttons over a high collared shirt or cravat. The background is a simple dark circle, contrasting with the man's lighter face and clothing. Below the portrait, there is an inscription that reads "Gerrit Boon".
