17th Century Dutch School. Portrait Of A Young Man In A Beret

Oil on oak panel In its very beautiful original 17th century frame with reverse profile in blackened pear veneer and guilloche baguette. Total dimensions: 60 x 54 cm. The panel alone: 28 x 22 cm Portrait representing a young bearded man wearing a dark green felt beret fashionable in the northern countries throughout the 17th century. His blond hairstyle is "disheveled", dressed in a black coat and a large scarf. His gaze seems pensive, he turns his head slightly to the left. In the United Provinces, Rembrandt's work influenced a large number of painters, starting with his students (around several dozen) who themselves inspired this artistic movement for several decades. The painter encouraged his students to copy his works or to profit from the sale of their paintings, thus paying themselves in exchange for their instruction and apprenticeship. Our painting is the work of a painter called "Rembranesque" who was able to capture with talent the expression and psychology of the character. Very good condition. Sold with certificate
