Portrait of Peeter Stevens is a 1627 oil by Anthony van Dyck, a Baroque work, depicting Man, held at Mauritshuis.
The painting features a man with dark hair and a mustache, wearing a black robe over a white ruffled collar. His right hand is adorned with an ornate gold glove, and he faces slightly to the left. The background is a dark brown wall with a decorative coat of arms on the left side. The man's attire and the coat of arms suggest a sense of nobility or prestige. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a striking contrast between light and dark, drawing attention to the subject's face and hand. This painting showcases the skillful use of chiaroscuro, a technique also employed by artist Anthony van Dyck.
Sir Anthony van Dyck (; Dutch: Antoon van Dijck ; 22 March 1599 – 9 December 1641) was a Flemish Baroque artist, who became the leading court painter in England after success in the Spanish Netherlands and Italy.
