FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
This half-length portrait shows a seated man gazing intently to his left. The painting was once in the collection of the dukes of Dessau, Germany, suggesting that the subject was a nobleman from that region. Based on the small wrinkles around his eyes, brow, and mouth, we believe he may have between 30 and 40 years old when the portrait was made. His high status is announced through details like the red brocade garment and the ring on his finger.
