Portrait of a Man in a Yellowish-gray Jacket is an oil-on-panel portrait painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Frans Hals, painted in 1633 and now in the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, Dresden.

The painting shows a tastefully dressed young man in a floppy hat seated in a chair facing right with his head at an angle looking at the viewer.

We don't know the name of the man or the occasion for which it was painted, but the painting is probably a pendant to the portrait of a man in a black jacket, which it matches in shape, size, period, and position of the figures.

Possibly these pendant portraits were made to decorate a building, so that people who worked for them or visited the premises could know what the owners looked like.

The painting is one of the best documented paintings in Hals' oeuvre, documented by Wilhelm von Bode in 1883, by Ernst Wilhelm Moes in 1909, Hofstede de Groot in 1910, by W.R. Valentiner in 1923, Trivas in 1941 and by Gerrit David Gratama in 1946.

He wears a broad- brimmed black hat of soft felt, a yellowish-grey coat, a close-fitting white collar edged with lace, and a white wristband on his right hand.

A copy was exhibited at the Burlington Fine Arts Club, London, 1900, No.

He has a slight fair moustache and imperial, and dark- brown curls.
