Portrait of a Gentleman
by HONTHORST, Gerrit van, Oil on canvas, 70 x 58 cm
In 1631, when this portrait was painted, Honthorst was an established court painter at several European courts. However, he made non-official likenesses, too, an excellent example being this portrait of an unidenfied gentleman, portrayed bust length, wearing a black coat, cloak and hat, and a white ruff.
