"Portret van Cornelis van der Geest" is a black and white engraving by Paulus Pontius, a prominent Flemish printmaker of the 17th century, who is known for his detailed portraits. This etching depicts Cornelis van der Geest, an art collector, standing in a three-quarter pose, wearing a ruff and a richly detailed cloak, his hands clasped in front of him.
