Portraits
by Jan GOSSART

Gossart painted many portraits. By their rigorous psychological analysis he is surely one of the most talented northern artists to have practiced this genre. Usually, he would paint his sitters against a dark green background. The portraits include both Gossart's highly prized efforts for important and wealthy clients and rather quickly executed paintings of standard size and simple composition. Gossart's portraits mostly represents male sitters, few portraits of female sitters by Gossart have survived.
