VOUET, Simon: Portrait of a Gentleman

🖼 Portrait of a Gentleman, 1622-25
Oil on canvas
77 × 60 cm

Soft brushwork and warm tonality render this gentleman's penetrating gaze and refined attire with intimate psychological presence. Vouet's portrait exemplifies French Baroque portraiture's blend of aristocratic elegance and introspective character study.
