Portrait of a Man 1631

"Portrait of a Man" is a 1631 oil painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Thomas de Keyser. The painting depicts a man in a dark suit with a prominent ruff, seated in a chair with a red curtain in the background. His hand rests on a table, possibly a writing desk, and his gaze is directed towards the viewer. This painting is a fine example of de Keyser's work, capturing the sitter with a sense of realism and sophistication. De Keyser is known for his portraiture and this artwork is a testament to his skillful handling of light, shadow, and detail. The painting is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark.
