Portrait of a Painter

The architectural background of this portrait is a later addition. At the same time the hat of the painter was enlarged. It is assumed that the portrait has a pendant: the Portrait of a Woman in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, which also has a later added architectural background.
