Unidentified late 16th century Antwerp painter
Portrait of a man wearing a black coat and a white ruff, holding a glove

I would like to thank Dr. Fred Meijer who has pointed out to us the stylistic connection with Frans Pourbus the Younger
Our unidentified painter must have been active during the early 1590s in Antwerp. He stood close to Frans Pourbus the Younger and to Adriaen Thomasz. Key.
Dr. Fred Meijer has very probably found another portrait of the same sitter, which was sold at Sotheby’s, London, in 1990, with a wrong attribution.
