Gentleman Lounging in a Chair is a 1735 chalk by Carle Van Loo, a Baroque work, depicting Sitting, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a man sitting in a chair, relaxed. He's wearing nice clothes and looks comfortable. The artist used red and black chalk to create this picture, which is interesting because it's a simple medium. The use of red chalk gives the picture a warm feel. The artist likely chose this medium to create a sense of intimacy. This picture is similar to work by artist Van Loo, Carle.
