Portrait of a Man (Rudolf van Loen_) c. 1700

Arnold Houbraken, a Dutch Golden Age painter, created "Portrait of a Man (Rudolf van Loen_)" around 1700. This oil-on-canvas portrait depicts Rudolf van Loen_, likely a prominent figure of the time, in a three-quarter-length pose. The subject is dressed in a luxurious golden robe and white cravat, with a blue sash peeking from under the robe. This work, currently housed at the Städel Museum, exemplifies the detailed brushstrokes and dramatic lighting techniques of the period, highlighting Houbraken's mastery of portraiture.
