About ‘Portrait of a Man in a Wide-Brimmed Hat, Jan Cossiers’
Portrait of a Man in a Wide-Brimmed Hat, Jan Cossiers (possibly)
With one arm akimbo and a penetrating, forthright stare, this dashing young man with his wide-brimmed hat exudes confidence and strength. His erect stance as well as the crisp, angular folds of his black satin cloak heighten the impression that he was a man of purpose. The portrait's strength also emanates from the artist's bold execution—the paint was applied thickly and with great verve and assurance. The composition, with the unknown sitter before a dark, almost black drapery pulled back to reveal the orange-red glow of an evening landscape, is extremely evocative, indicating that the artist was of the highest rank.
