School Of Frans Pourbus Said The Younger (1569-1622) Portrait Of A Man In A White & Green Doublet

Dimensions with frame: 44 x 40 cm. The panel alone: 18 x 15.2 cm

Presented in a 17th century frame with an inverted profile, moldings and ebony veneer.

This rare small painting on oak panel that we can give to the Flemish school of the end of the 16th century, represents a handsome blond young man with a goatee. He is dressed in a white and green doublet and wears a reticella lace collar with so-called toothed edges. These elements allow us to date it to the years 1590-1600. We have not been able to identify the coat of arms Frans II, dit le Jeune (Antwerp 1569 – Paris 1622). Became a Free Master in Antwerp in 1591. From around 1600 he began working for the Archdukes Albert and Isabella in Brussels. From 1600 to 1609 he was painter to the Gonzagas in Mantua. He traveled to carry out works in Innsbruck, Naples, Paris and Turin. Called to Paris in 1609 by Marie de Medici, he became court painter there, a title he kept until his death. He enjoyed a European reputation. His early works, painted in Antwerp c. 1590, are influenced by his father and Key.
