Portrait of a Noble Gentleman, around 1600-1615.
Oil on oak wood
51 x 48 cm
This painting of a noble in half-length portrait format shows the person portrayed in a black robe and white collar on a neutral blue-grey background.
His gaze, and all his physiognomy turned towards the viewer convey a relaxed but concentrated expression. The great pictorial brilliance and the refined treatment of the complexion of the face are represented in a very natural way, in accordance to real life. In particular, the portrait conveys the Dutch, German and Rudolphine style of representation of Mannerism around 1580-1600. The similarities with our portrait make us think of Hans van Aachen, Michel Janz van Miereveld, or Franz Pourbus.
