Portrait of a Seated Man is a 1771 ink by Jacobus Buys, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is a portrait of a man sitting down. He is wearing a dark jacket with buttons down the front and a white collar. The background is dark, but there appears to be a curtain on the right side of the painting. The man's face is serious, and he is looking straight ahead. His hair is styled in a way that was popular during the 18th century. The artist has used a lot of shading to create depth and dimension in the painting. If you like this painting, you might also be interested in the work of other Romanticism artists.
