GOSSART, Jan (b. ca. 1478, Maubeuge, d. 1532, Middelburg) |
Portrait of a Manc. 1520Oil on panel, 36 x 28 cm Pushkin Museum, Moscow | |
This portrait bears a striking resemblance to certain of the putative images of Gossart (e.g. in Jan Wierix's engraving), therefore it is perhaps a self-portrait, that could explain the unusually casual and loose manner in which it was painted. |
