Portrait of a Gentleman is a 1690 paint by Carl Gustav Amling, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a man with curly hair and a light-colored lace collar. His face is round, and he wears a patterned jacket. The background is plain and dark, framing his face in a circle. The artist used gray ink on thin paper, making the lines look soft but clear. The writing at the bottom says the name of the artist and the year—1690. Next, look up the Baroque movement to see how this style fits into it.
