Portrait of a Man 1627

"Portrait of a Man" is an oil-on-panel painting by Dutch artist Willem Cornelisz Duyster, created in 1627. The painting is a bust-length portrait of a man, with a prominent mustache, wearing a black coat over a white lace collar. The subject's gaze is directed at the viewer, giving the impression of a direct encounter. The painting is currently located in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands and measures just 14.7 x 11.4 cm. The small dimensions and the detailed features are characteristic of Dutch portraiture of the Golden Age, a period known for its detailed and intimate depictions of everyday life.
