Portrait of Wilhelm Kannengiesser is a 1550 unspecified by Bartholomaeus Bruyn the Elder, depicting Man, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
This portrait depicts a man seated at a table, holding a piece of paper in his right hand and a red book in his left. He is dressed in a black coat with a high collar and a black hat, set against a beige background with a red crest. The man's gaze is directed to the right, and his facial expression is neutral. The painting's attention to detail is evident in the subject's attire and the objects he holds. The artist has captured the textures of the man's clothing and the papers in his hands, adding depth to the portrait. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Bartholomaeus Bruyn the Elder.
Bartholomäus Bruyn (1493–1555), usually called Barthel Bruyn or Barthel Bruyn the Elder, was a German Renaissance painter active in Cologne. He painted altarpieces and portraits, and was Cologne's foremost portrait painter of his day.
