Portrait of a Man
by GOSSART, Jan, Oil on oak panel, 28 x 23 cm
This elegantly dressed gentleman is portrayed before a green background. He displays a cartouche with the Latin phrase TV MICHI / CAUSA / DOLORIS (You are the cause of my pain). A possible identification of the sitter is Janus Secundus (1511-1536), the poet and humanist author who worked for Margaret of Austria.
