Portrait d'homme coiffé d'un large feutre noir

The portrait shows a man in a broad black felt hat and a large white pleated ruff, rendered in a three-quarter view against a dark background. The face is lit to reveal warm flesh tones, a reddish beard and mustache, and subtle blush, while the clothing remains in deep shadow. The work uses strong chiaroscuro and a restrained palette typical of Dutch Golden Age portraiture, emphasizing the sitter’s gaze and dignified presence.
