ROUSSEAUX, Jacques de
(b. ca. 1600, Tourcoing, d. 1638, Leiden)

Portrait of a Man

1635
Oil on oak panel, 51 x 40 cm
Private collection

This portrait (in fact a tronie) represents a man, head and shoulders, wearing a blue velvet cap and gold chain. It was only in the early 20th century that the painting was re-attributed to Rousseaux, having been considered a work by Rembrandt until 1919.
