Theodoor Van Loon is a 1632 by Paulus Pontius, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in old-fashioned clothes. He’s wearing a ruffled collar and a dark jacket with a high neckline. His right hand rests on a draped cloth, and his left hand holds a piece of paper or a small object. The background is plain, focusing all attention on his face and shoulders. The name at the bottom reads *Theodoor Van Loon*, which means this is a portrait of him. The artist signed it as *Paulus Pontius*, and the style looks detailed and dramatic. Look up Baroque next to see more art like this.
