# Portrait of a Man [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GOSSART, Jan]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on oak panel, 43 x 31 cm ## Commentary The present painting is one of Gossart's most dynamic portraits, the sitter, whose identity remains unknown, appears about to speak. The composition of the sitter before a green background, his figure casting a shadow to the right, was favoured by Gossart for his portraits during the late 1520s. His sculptural approach to the figure, and the successfully foreshortened gesturing hand are hallmark of his late style. ## Related artworks - [A Grotesque with Two Sirens]() - [A Man Holding a Glove]() - [A Reliquary]() - [A Women's Bath]() - [Adam Accuses Eve before God]() - [Adam and Eve \(detail\)]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Agony in the Garden \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
