"Portrait of Cornelius van der Geest" is a notable oil painting by the Flemish artist Sir Anthony van Dyck, a leading court painter in England under King Charles I and a prominent figure in the Baroque art movement. The artwork, created circa 1620, is a fine example of Van Dyck's portraiture prowess and is considered one of his important early works, showcasing his skill in capturing the character and social standing of his sitters.

The subject of the painting, Cornelius van der Geest (1575–1638), was a wealthy spice merchant and art collector from Antwerp, and a significant patron of the arts. His influence in the cultural and economic spheres of the city made him an important figure for artists of the time. Van Dyck's portrait depicts Van der Geest with an insightful and penetrating gaze, suggesting the intelligence and discernment of a connoisseur. The lifelike representation, particularly in the rendering of the sitter's flesh and the intricate lace of his collar, reflects the influence of Van Dyck's mentor, Peter Paul Rubens, while also highlighting Van Dyck's own artistic identity.

The painting is renowned for its psychological depth and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, which adds to the three-dimensionality of the figure. Van der Geest's expression is rendered with a sense of immediacy that engages the viewer, a testament to Van Dyck's ability to convey the inner life of his subjects.

"Portrait of Cornelius van der Geest" is held in high esteem not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance, offering insight into the social and cultural milieu of the early 17th century in the Southern Netherlands. The painting is part of the collection of the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired by art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
