Description: | The identity of the gentleman depicted has long been disputed, indeed there are very few props or symbols to suggest his status, profession or identity. The man depicted appears to be aged approximately 35-40. The artist has given him a somewhat melancholic expression, though his outward stare is no less captivating for it. It is a highly polished example of psychological portraiture, masterfully conveying the mental state and character of the sitter as much as his physical attributes. | Subjects: | portrait (King James II; Pilkington family?) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Soest, Gerard (Dutch painter in England, ca.1600-1681) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8345... | Go to resource |
