Portrait of a Seated Man is a 1771 chalk by Jacobus Buys, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a seated man with a gentle, introspective expression. He is dressed in a dark coat with buttons down the front, a white collar, and a lace cravat. His right arm is bent, resting on his lap, while his left arm is relaxed by his side. In the background, a curtain is visible, adding a sense of depth to the composition. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to reflect on the subject's thoughts and emotions.
