Portrait of a man, possibly a member of the van Citters family 1678

Caspar Netscher's "Portrait of a man, possibly a member of the van Citters family" is a classic example of Dutch Golden Age portraiture. Painted in 1678, it depicts a man in a black velvet suit with a luxurious lace collar, against a backdrop that alludes to the sitter's wealth and status. The portrait, now in the Rijksmuseum, is renowned for its subtle realism and meticulous attention to detail, characteristic of Netscher's style. The sitter's serene expression and elegant pose contribute to the artwork's sense of refined grandeur.
