Portret van een onbekende man, buste, naar rechts 1686

This pastel portrait, titled "Portret van een onbekende man, buste, naar rechts," was created in 1686 by Dutch artist Bernard Vaillant. The work depicts the bust of an unknown man, facing right. The man's attire, with a large white collar, is characteristic of 17th-century fashion, highlighting the artist's meticulous attention to detail. Vaillant's signature, "B. Vaillant fecit," is subtly placed in the top right corner of the artwork, adding to the overall composition. The artist's skill in conveying a sense of realism through subtle shading and delicate lines makes this portrait a fine example of Baroque era portraiture.
