Gerard de Lairesse is a 1690 ink by Pieter Schenck I, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a man with curly hair, wearing a dark robe with a white shirt underneath. He is holding a small object in his right hand. The background is dark, with a subtle texture visible in the image. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The overall atmosphere of the painting is somber, with a focus on the subject's introspective mood. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's attention to the subject's face and hands.
