## Commentary

Man in Armour \(Mars?\) 1650s Oil on canvas, 102 x 91 cm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York This painting is not included in the Bredius catalogue. This painting was painted by a follower of Rembrandt \(not necessarily one of his pupils\) during the 1650s. Until 1949 the painting was catalogued as by Aert de Gelder. Between 1949 and 1995 the painting was given to Karel van der Pluym \(1625-1672\) a second cousin of Rembrandt&#39;s. This attribution seems possible when comparing the present canvas with Van der Pluym&#39;s signed paintings.
