Dutch School, 17th Century
Portrait of a gentleman wearing a ruff, three-quarter-length,
oil on panel, oval, 106 x 80 cm, framed
Provenance:
Private collection, United Kingdom
The present, exquisite portrait of an elegantly dressed gentleman, wearing a silver gilt sword belt, is a fine example of the Amsterdam school of portraiture in the first quarter of the seventeenth century. Although the identity of the artist who painted this work remains an intriguing mystery, such an accomplished hand rivals the work of great masters of the period. Whether a minor nobleman, or successful burgher, the sitter in the present portrait is turned towards us, with an air of effortless confidence.
A dendrochronological survey by Ian Tyers dates the three boards of the Baltic oak panel to between 1599 and 1633.
