FLINCK, Govert Teunisz.
(b. 1615, Kleve, d. 1660, Amsterdam)

Bearded Man with a Velvet Cap

1645
Oil on wood, 60 x 52 cm
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

This imaginary portrait, probably based on a live model, is typical of Flinck in the 1640s. X-ray radiographs show that it was painted over a female portrait, which itself seems consistent with the artist's work in the early 1640s.
