About this work

Overview

The work is a painted portrait of a male figure shown in left‑facing profile. He is dressed in a dark hat set with a decorative brooch and a brown jacket trimmed with gold, indicating a status beyond that of an ordinary citizen.

Subject & Meaning

The sitter is identified as Philipp the Bold, Duke of Burgundy (1342–1404). The emphasis on his attire and the formal, frontal pose underscores his noble rank and the authority associated with his ducal office.

Technique & Style

Executed in a manner reminiscent of early Northern Renaissance portraiture, the painting employs fine detailing of fabric and metalwork, a clear, linear modeling of the face, and a restrained colour palette that echo the approaches of artists such as Jan van Eyck.

History & Provenance

The portrait is attributed to the late fourteenth‑century courtly tradition of Burgundian portraiture. Its precise origin and subsequent ownership are not documented in the supplied information, limiting the known provenance to its identification with the duke.
