A wonderfully detailed and charismatic portrait, this exquisite work illustrates the technical mastery and artistic vision of Van Dyck. Cornelissen's stately, yet approachable expression reflects Van Dyck's refined ability to comfort and relax his subjects, resulting in a realistic and acute portrait. Van Dyck depicts Cornelissen in a nearly frontal view against a simple background. He utilizes strong horizontal lines and bold tonal contrasts to convey the exquisite folds in Cornelissen's garment. Cornelissen stands with one arm raised at his side, regally gazing off into the distance, a man of power.
