Description: | A Dutch man dressed in black, wearing a hat and gloves and bearing a staff, is seen at three-quarter length. The figure is set against a plain background with an opening in the upper right. The painting has been attributed to Thomas de Keyser, the most important portrait-painter in Amsterdam before the arrival of Rembrandt in the 1630s. However, the simplicity of the image and absence of attributes distinguish this image from Keyser's usual portrait type, which depicts the sitter in a contemporary interior surrounded by objects. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Keyser, Thomas de (Dutch painter and architect, born 1596 or 1597, died 1667) Æ Attributed to manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8585... | Go to resource |
