660. A MAN'S PORTRAIT.
Ascribed to François Clouet (French: about 1510-1572).
François Clouet, like his father Jeannet before him, was court painter to the King of France. Jeannet was, however, probably a Netherlander; and François remained faithful to the old northern style of painting. This and the other portrait ascribed to him might well be taken for works of the Flemish school.
In the costume of the 16th century: dated 1543.
