Portret van een man 1930 - 1940

"Portret van een man" (Portrait of a Man), painted between 1930 and 1940 by Dutch artist Han van Meegeren, is an oil on canvas portrait depicting a man in a black hat and a white collar. This painting is characteristic of van Meegeren's forgeries, which he created to deceive art collectors and experts into believing they were authentic works by the Dutch Golden Age master, Johannes Vermeer. The painting is now housed in the Rijksmuseum and is a testament to van Meegeren's skill and deception. It's a fascinating example of art forgery and the challenges of art authentication.
