Portrait of an Officer is a 1645 ink by Ferdinand Bol, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a man in a hat with a feather, wearing a dark jacket and a white collar. His curly hair is visible, and he appears to be looking to the left. The man's attire and the style of the painting suggest a formal portrait. The use of etching as a medium adds a level of detail and texture to the image. This painting is an example of the Baroque movement, which was characterized by dramatic lighting and intense emotions.
