Provenance : Private European collection.
Male portrait depicting an elderly bearded man, dressed in a dark coat and wearing a cap. The face emerges from a dark background, rendered in a chiaroscuro technique characteristic of 17th-century Dutch painting. The work reflects the influence of Rembrandt’s circle, particularly through its limited palette and focus on facial expression. The restrained composition and tight framing contribute to the intimate character of the piece.
The painting is presented in an elaborate gilt and wood frame.
