Portrait of Christopher Baek is a 1812 oil by Unknown, held at Brooklyn Museum.
This portrait depicts a man with white hair, wearing a red coat over a black vest and white cravat. His right hand is extended, palm up, while his left hand holds a canvas featuring a landscape with a blue sky and orange horizon. The man's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal, 19th-century setting. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's attention to the subject's face and hands.
