Attributed to Pieter Nason (Dutch, 1612-1688) Portrait of a gentleman, aged 23, standing half length, in cuirassier’s armour, his right hand upon his feathered helmet before a gold and red curtain, a battle in the far right distance inscribed lower right “AE 23” oil on canvas 108 x 94cm (42 x 37in). Provenance: Sold at auction in Bukowski, Stockholm in 1950 as by John Riley with the sitter unidentified; Acquired by the vendor’s late husband from the Woodbridge Gallery in Suffolk some thirty years ago. The sitter, although as yet unidentified, is clearly, from the quality of his armour and the plumed helmet, of high birth and almost certainly continental, although Pieter Nason was known to have painted Englishmen when in the Hague. Although this is clearly a late 17th century portrait, in the opinion of one specialist the armour may well be in fact circa 1580, although another armour expert has described it as ‘17th Century cuirassier’s armour of very fine quality’.
