This painting portrays Franck van Borselan (c. 1395-1471), Count of Ostrevant and a knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece. Formerly the portrait was attributed to Jan Mostaert. Recently it has undergone cleaning and restoration as well as technical examination at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As a result, the painting was given to Jan Gossart.
