Portrait of a Blond Gentleman is a 1704 oil by Anthony van Dyck, a Flemish Baroque painting work, depicting Man, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
The painting shows a man with blond hair, looking directly at the viewer. He is wearing a dark jacket and a white shirt with a high collar. The background is dark, which makes the man stand out. The man's face is well-lit, and his features are clearly visible. His hair is styled in a way that was popular during the time the painting was made. The artist used a technique called chiaroscuro to create a strong contrast between light and dark, which adds depth to the painting.
