# Portrait of a Man [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GOSSART, Jan]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on oak panel, 37 x 28 cm ## Commentary This significantly darkened portrait of an unidentified man belongs to a group of works that are more modest then Gossart's highly prized efforts for important and wealthy clients. These compositions show a bust-length figure before a simple green background , facing right or left, and usually with one hand resting at the lower edge of the painting. The simplicity of these paintings and the relative lack of personal identifying marks have relegated these sitters to anonymity. ## 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]()
