TERBORCH, Gerard
(b. 1617, Zwolle, d. 1681, Deventer)

Portrait of a Seated Man

c. 1660
Oil on wood, 36 x 31 cm
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

The unknown sitter sits in front of a small table covered by a deep red cloth. The background is olive green, a hat resting on the table, like in several other single male portraits by the painter. The unidentified patron was presumably one of the artist's numerous clients in and around Deventer.
