A tronie () is a type of work in Dutch Golden Age painting and Flemish Baroque painting that depicts an exaggerated facial expression or people in costume. These works were not intended as portraits or caricatures but as studies of expression, type, physiognomy or an interesting character such as an old man or woman, a young woman, the soldier, the shepherdess, the "Oriental", or a person of a particular race.
