Portrait of a Man
by GOSSART, Jan, Oil on oak panel, 57 x 46 cm
Formerly this portrait was attributed to Jacopo de’Barbari, but since 1927 it is associated with Jan Gossart. The sitter is identified as Henry III of Nassau-Breda (1483-1538), although this is not universally accepted. Henry III was an important statesman and general in the Netherlands during the Burgundian era. He served Margaret of Austria, Maximilian I, and Charles V.
