National Gallery of Art

This image shows a detailed illustration of a man's bust in a profile view facing to the right. The man is depicted from the shoulders up with an upright posture, well-lit against a dark circular background. He has light-colored hair styled neatly with slight curls at the ends, a prominent nose, defined chin, and his eyes are looking forward. He is dressed formally in a high-collared white shirt or cravat and a dark coat with large, light-colored buttons. The coat collar is turned up. There are no visible jewelry or objects in his hands. The background is a dark circle surrounded by a lighter square border. At the bottom, there is handwritten text that reads "Van Renslaer" and "Killiaen K."
