"Portrait of Cornelis van der Geest" is a notable work by the Flemish artist Sir Anthony van Dyck, a leading court painter in England under King Charles I and one of the most prominent portraitists of the 17th century. This painting, created circa 1620, is a fine example of Van Dyck's early work and his mastery in capturing the character and social stature of his sitters.

Cornelis van der Geest (1575–1638) was a wealthy spice merchant and art collector from Antwerp, and a significant figure in the cultural and economic life of the city. He was also a patron of the arts, and his collection included works by Peter Paul Rubens, with whom Van Dyck trained. The portrait is a testament to Van der Geest's status and his relationship with the artistic community of the time.

The painting is characterized by Van Dyck's skillful use of chiaroscuro and his ability to render textures and materials, which give a lifelike presence to the sitter. Van der Geest is depicted with a keen expression, suggesting his intelligence and discernment as a connoisseur of art. The portrait's composition, with the sitter's gaze engaging the viewer, was influential in the development of portraiture in the Baroque period.

"Portrait of Cornelis van der Geest" is held in high esteem for its historical significance and artistic merit. It is housed in the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the understanding of portraiture during the Dutch Golden Age and the broader context of European art history.
