Portret van een onbekende heer, staand 1653 - 1706

"Portret van een onbekende heer, staand" is a 17th-century red chalk drawing by Dutch artist Godfried Schalcken, currently held at the Rijksmuseum. The drawing depicts a seated gentleman in profile, wearing a long wig and ornate clothing, his hand resting on a table or railing. The subject is shown in a simple but elegant setting, possibly a room with a view beyond a window. Schalcken was known for his masterful use of light and shadow, which can be seen in this work despite its small scale. This drawing provides a glimpse into the artist's practice and the stylistic preferences of the Dutch Golden Age.
