The painting features a man dressed in 17th-century attire, standing in a room with a checkered floor. He wears a wide-brimmed hat, a white ruffled collar, and a yellow vest over a gray shirt. A green sash is tied around his waist, and he holds a sword in his right hand. His left arm is bent at the elbow, with his hand resting on his hip. A flag with a red, white, and orange design is draped over his left shoulder. The man's facial expression is serious, and he looks directly at the viewer. The background of the painting is a room with a doorway and a column, suggesting a formal setting. This portrait of a man in 17th-century attire invites you to explore the works of the artist, Thomas de Keyser.
