About this work

This painting shows a man in a dark, rich coat with a fur-lined collar. His sleeves are wide and decorated with lace, and he rests one hand on a small bust. The background is plain and dark, making him stand out. His face has a serious expression, and the light hits his cheek and collar. The man’s pose and the way the light falls on his face are typical of portraits from this time. The small bust he touches might mean he was a scholar or collector.
