Cornelis van Poelenburgh's "Portrait Bust of a Man in a White Wig" depicts a man wearing a powdered wig and a dark cloak in a realistic, almost three-dimensional manner. The drawing, housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases Poelenburgh's mastery of detail, particularly in the rendering of the man's face and the folds of the fabric. The work, executed in black chalk, with blue wash, is an excellent example of a portrait bust, a genre popular in the 17th and 18th centuries.
