Nobility portrait painter
Around 1690.
Portrait of a nobleman in armour.
Oil on canvas. Unsigned. Verso on the stretcher on a printed label numbered «3308».
H 31,
The sitter is portrayed in full armour with helmet and crest, as was the fashion during the time of the Sun King (1638 - 1715). Since the armoured man has neither medals nor insignia, it can only be assumed that he belonged to a German or possibly French count dynasty.
Provenance: private collection Glottertal.
