The elegant sitter of this portrait is unknown. The statue in the background appears to be based on the so-called ' Farnese Flora' (Naples, Museo Nazionale), but the pose is reversed. The statue was presumably known to van der Werff from an engraving. ...

The sitter was a chevalier (knight) of Saint-Louis, a military Order instituted in 1693, whose insignia is attached to his armour with red ribbon. The portrait may have been cut down from a larger one. ...

With one arm on the back of a chair & the other arm akimbo, the unknown sitter's pose evokes an impression of both confidence & ease. The artist, inspired by the Flemish tradition, has placed the sitter in front of a wall hung with drapery, with a vie ...

Leaning back & with his head turned towards the viewer, the sitter appears relaxed. The vivacity of the brushwork gives the portrait a remarkable sense of immediacy. The sitter has not been identified: his age & the date (1633) when he sat to Hals are inscribed beneath the artist's monogram. The canvas has been cut on the right edge so that the second digit of his age has been lost. ...

The sitter is the same as in another portrait (Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum), & as in an etched portrait by Godfried Schalcken, who was Dou's pupil. This picture was probably painted in about 1635-40 when Dou was in his mid-twenties. X-radiographs have revealed that the portrait was painted over another portrait head, not an uncommon practice in artists' studios at the time. ...

This half-length portrait of an unidentified sitter holding a paper & a pair of gloves has in the past been catalogued as Flemish & attributed to Corneille de Lyon. It is not clear whether it is French or Flemish, & may have been painted later than the 16th century, although it is unlikely to be a modern work.

This portrait formerly belonged to the Avogadro Collection in Brescia & it probably represents Gerolamo Avogadro (died 1534).

The distant gaze of the sitter & the amplitude of the costume recall the tradition of Venetian portraiture as developed by Giorgione & the young Titian in the early years of the 16th century. A Saint Christopher badge is prominently displayed on the gentleman's hat. ...

The two paintings may be betrothal or marriage portraits. They may originate from the Danube region. ...

The sitter has not been identified. Portraits of less than half-length, such as this, are rare in Mor's work, but this picture is not believed to be a fragment of a larger work. Mor was painter to the Spanish court at Brussels, but also painted his Netherlandish contemporaries. This portrait may have been painted when he was living in Antwerp after 1568. ...
