About this work

A man in a dark coat sits in a fancy chair. Behind him, a tall pillar is carved with leaves. The room feels quiet and serious. The chair is covered in shiny fabric and has gold details, like furniture from ancient Rome. This style was popular in the late 1700s, when people loved classical designs. We don’t know who the man is—or who painted him. To see more paintings like this, look up the Rijksmuseum.
