Captain Smart (b.1600) is a 1639 oil by Unknown, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting is a portrait of a man, likely Captain Smart, dressed in 17th-century attire. He wears a dark brown coat with gold accents and a lace collar, and his right hand rests on a red tablecloth. The background is dark, with some faint writing visible. The man's facial expression is serious, and his dark hair is neatly styled. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject's face. The artist's use of oil paint and attention to detail make this portrait feel lifelike and engaging.
