When it first entered the collection, it was described as the work of noted portraitist Bartholomeus van der Helst.  Subsequently, it has been attributed to Abraham van den Tempel, Jan van Hemert and Anthonie Palamedes, although none of these is particularly convincing.  The costume suggests a date of around 1650.","physicalDescription":"A bust-length portrait of a man in mid-17th-century Dutch costume, with a white collar and high black hat.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"oil paint","id":"AAT15050"},{"text":"canvas","id":"AAT14078"}],"techniques":[{"text":"oil painting","id":"AAT178684"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Oil on canvas","categories":[{"text":"Paintings","id":"THES48917"},{"text":"Portraits","id":"THES48906"}],"styles":[{"text":"Dutch School","id":"x31259"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2007BP1063","2012FU3031","2012FU3032","2012FU3033","2012FU3034","2018KY2256","2018KY2249"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"315","id":"THES49535"},"free":"","case":"R","shelf":"26","box":"L"},{"current":{"text":"315","id":"THES49535"},"free":"","case":"R","shelf":"26","box":"L"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"oil paintings","id":"AAT33799"}],[{"text":"frames (furnishings)","id":"AAT189814"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Netherlands","id":"x29020"},"association":{"text":"painted","id":"x30138"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1650","earliest":"1645-01-01","latest":"1654-12-31"},"association":{"text":"painted","id":"x30138"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Bequeathed by John Forster","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"60.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"estimate","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"50.8","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"estimate","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"DImensions taken from <i>Catalogue of Foreign Paintings, I.
