Portrait of Pieter Six is a 1689 oil by Caspar Netscher, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Man, held at Städel Museum.
This painting depicts a man with curly, shoulder-length hair, wearing a brown coat with white cuffs and a white collar. He sits in a chair with a red patterned seat, with his left arm resting on the armrest. To his right is a young boy holding a bow and arrow, dressed in a green coat and brown pants. The background features a dark wall with a gold-framed painting and a sculpture of a person. The man's attire and hairstyle suggest a sense of elegance and refinement.
