Portrait of a man is a 1670 oil by Abraham Lambertsz van den Tempel, depicting Man, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This portrait features a man with long, wavy brown hair, dressed in a black coat adorned with gold trim and white lace cuffs. He wears a white shirt and a red bow tie, holding a cane in his right hand. The background is dark, with a faint outline of a building or column on the left side. The man's attire and the style of the painting suggest a formal, possibly aristocratic, setting. The use of gold trim and lace cuffs indicates a level of wealth and status. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and dimension to the portrait.
Abraham Lambertsz van den Tempel (1622–1672) was an artist, born in Leeuwarden.
