Portrait of a Man (Baldung)

Portrait of a Man is a 1514 oil on panel painting by the German artist Hans Baldung, who may have worked in Albrecht Dürer's studio. It is now in the National Gallery, London, which bought it in 1854. Baldung's portraits are less introspective than Dürer's but have greater immediate visual impact, here reinforced by the bright blue background and the rich clothing and chains.
