Description: | An unidentified middle-aged gentleman is seen half-length with his face turned to the left, set against a brown background, the whole contained within a feigned oval. A brown wig, falling onto his shoulders, frames his face. He looks directly at the viewer with a neutral expression, appearing calm and collected. He wears a short lace scarf tied around his neck and a dark red cloak over a white shirt. Judging from the sitter's clothes, the portrait can be dated to about 1700. Format and pose recall male portraits by John Baptist de Medina and Godfrey Kneller. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Kneller, Godfrey (English painter, 1646-1723) Æ Manner of Attributed to manner of Medina, John Baptist de (Flemish-Spanish painter, 1659-1710, active in Scotland) Attributed to Dutch School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8566... | Go to resource |
