The painting shows a man, Jean Claude, sitting in a formal pose. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The painting is based on a work by J. Lorent, which is an interesting fact about this piece - it was copied from someone else's art. This copying was a common practice at the time, and it allows us to learn about the original artist's style. You can learn more about the artist who made the original work, Somer, [Paulus van ?], (1649-1696 [?]).
