Portrait of a Husband is a 1647 oil by Hendrick Bloemaert, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Man, held at Walters Art Museum.
This portrait depicts a man with curly brown hair, wearing a black coat with lace cuffs and a white collar. He is holding a book in his left hand and has a ring on his right hand. The man is standing in front of a dark background, which contrasts with the lighter tones of his clothing and face. His expression is serious, and he appears to be looking directly at the viewer. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject's face and hands. To learn more about this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
