The Portrait of a Man and its pendant Portrait of a Woman depict members of the Van Beresteyn family. Several portraits of members from this family by Michiel van Miereveld and Jacob Delff are known, but attempts to identify the sitters more precisely were unsuccessful. The male portrait was probably painted exclusively by Rembrandt, while a collaborator could have played a minor role in the execution of the female portrait. ## Related artworks - [A black drummer and commander mounted on mules; riding in profile]() - [A child being taught to walk]() - [A cottage beneath trees]() - [A girl sleeping]() - [A Man Laughing]() - [A man making water]() - [A Peddler Selling Spectacles \(The Allegory of Sight\)]() - [A Polish Nobleman]() - [A Scholar]() - [A two-humped camel]() - [A woman in Zeeland costume, from the back]() - [A woman in Zeeland costume, from the front]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
