Portrait of a Man (Van Heemskerck)

Portrait of a Man is an oil painting attributed to the Dutch painter Maarten van Heemskerck.

The painting is kept in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, in Antwerp.

[1][2][3] The man is depicted half-length, with his arms resting on a table edge, looking at the viewer head-on.

The man wears a close-fitting jerkin and a high, closed collar.

The fact that the man is holding, not wearing, his gloves, which are worn when meeting important people and taken off as a gesture of courtesy and respect, enhance the man's friendliness.
