Portrait of a Man

Attributed to Bartholomaeus Bruyn the Elder

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man from the waist up, positioned in a three-quarter view as he looks to his left. He has a fair complexion, a reddish-brown close-cropped beard, and medium brown hair cut at ear length. He wears a black flat cap, a white undershirt, a deep blue or black coat, and a burgundy overcoat draped over his shoulders. He is holding an object in his hands. The background is a muted olive green color.
