You see a man in a dark coat, his face turned slightly to the side. He has a short beard and a serious look. The background is plain, almost black. This is a copy of an earlier painting. The original showed Michel Le Blon, a goldsmith and engraver who worked for Queen Christina of Sweden. We don’t know who made this version or when, but it was done after 1700. To see more works like this, visit the Rijksmuseum.
