The unidentified sitter seems to be wearing the ribbon of the Légion d' Honneur. He may have been a friend or acquaintance of the painter Edgar Degas as the portrait was in his private collection. At the time it was acquired at the posthumous dispersal of Degas's collection in 1918, the date of the painting was noted on the reverse. This is no longer visible. ...
This bold portrait is of an unknown sitter. The fur collar, the jewel on the cap & the heavy gold chains indicate that he was a man of some wealth. The two badges on the chain can be identified & suggest that he may have been a Swabian & was probabl ...
It has been suggested that the sitter is Dr Richard Mead, the famous physician & collector. This identification has not been verified. The date of this work would suggest that the picture was painted in Britain & the sitter is likely to be British. ...

It is the earliest dated painting by Bouts & the earliest surviving dated Netherlandish portrait to include a view through a window, although such views were included in Netherlandish paintings with religious subjects. It has been suggested that the sitter's plain style of clothing is connected with the University of Louvain, whose statutes of the time suggest that students dress in 'clerical' garments.
