Portret van een man, naar rechts 1658 - 1677

This portrait by Dutch artist Wallerant Vaillant depicts a man in a dark, richly-textured robe, his hand resting on his chest. The subject's face is detailed with subtle shadows, and the piece showcases Vaillant's ability to capture a realistic likeness. This work, part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, is characteristic of Dutch portraiture from the 17th century, demonstrating the artistic mastery prevalent in this era. The intimate scale and the man's contemplative pose invite the viewer to engage with the subject's inner life.
