Description: | This is a fine three-quarter length portrait of a gentleman in early middle-age. He is depicted standing, with his left hand on in hip, and his right arm resting on ledge which is covered with a carpet. He sports a very long silver wig and is luxuriously attired in a coat of a pale gold colour, with a russet-coloured velvet drape. To the right of the composition, the background comprises a distant landscape. The work forms a pair with Portrait of an Unknown Woman (1945.27). | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Werff, Pieter van der (Dutch painter, 1665-1722) Æ Previously attributed to Werff, Adriaen van der (Dutch painter and draftsman, 1659-1722) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8349... | Go to resource |
