Portrait of a Man
by CORNELISZ VAN OOSTSANEN, Jacob, Oil on panel, 37 x 24 cm
The sitter of this portrait is Jan Gerritz. van Egmond van de Dijenborgh, elected Burgomaster of Alkmaar. He is portrayed bust-length wearing a black fur-trimmed coat, holding a pomander, seen within an arched decorated embrasure, a landscape beyond. It was suggested that the architectural framework and roughly-painted distant landscape are the work of workshop assistants.
