Unknown Man is a 1656 ink by Louis Coquin, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait features a man with short, wavy hair and a well-groomed beard and mustache. He wears a dark, buttoned-up shirt with a high, ruffled collar. The background is a dark, circular shape, with the subject's head and shoulders positioned centrally within it. The man's facial expression is neutral, with a slight furrow between his eyebrows. His eyes are cast downward, giving the impression that he is lost in thought. The overall mood of the portrait is one of quiet contemplation. The artist's use of cross-hatching techniques creates a sense of depth and texture in the image. The subject's clothing and the background are rendered in intricate detail, drawing the viewer's eye to the man's face.
