    Portrait Of A 17th-Century Cleric

    This late 18th-century oil painting depicts a pious upstanding 17th-century cleric.

    Acquired from Scandinavia, the history of this splendid portrait is somewhat enigmatic. He’s wearing a modest outfit consisting of a large billowing shirt that emerges from the sleeves, a white collar with tassels, and a black skull cap. His attire matches the expectations of the 1650s/1660s and he feels a little Dutch in appearance.

    Previously, it’s been attributed as a 17th-century work but we feel that it’s a later copy. Perhaps produced for a noble family to indicate its lineage.

    Held within a gilt frame.

    Medium: Oil on canvas
    Overall size: 35½” x 39½” / 90cm x 100cm
