A portrait of Sir Robert Howard 

This portrait of Sir Robert Howard, painted by the Flemish artist Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641), depicts the sitter in a three-quarter length pose. The painting captures Howard's distinguished features, including his prominent mustache and long, flowing hair. He is dressed in a dark, luxurious robe and a white lace collar. The artist’s skilled use of chiaroscuro highlights the sitter’s facial features, creating a sense of depth and volume. Van Dyck's portraits were renowned for their elegant style and naturalistic detail, a signature feature of the Baroque era.
