Portrait of a Seated Man is a 1771 chalk by Jacobus Buys, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a man sitting in a chair, wearing a dark jacket with puffy sleeves and a white scarf around his neck. He has curly hair and is looking to the right. The background is dark and blurry, with some light coming from the left side. The man's face is detailed, with wrinkles and a serious expression. His hair is styled in a way that was popular during the 18th century. The artist used cross-hatching to create shading and texture in the image. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to look into the Romanticism movement.
