Portrait of a Man (Henry III, Count of Nassau-Breda?)
The man's self-confident demeanor and extravagant costume indicate his stature, as does the symbol of the prestigious order of the Golden Fleece that he wears on a ribbon around his neck. In the placement of the figure in a shallow space between a ledge and a framed green marble background, the portrait is comparable to others by Gossaert from the 1520s. If the sitter is Henry III of Nassau-Breda, as has been proposed, he must be a good ten years younger than he appears in the portrait (now lost) of about 1532, known from Simon Bening's copy.
