Dutch Masters


The portrait above is an unknown man by Cornelis de Vos from 1625, and the one below is "Portrait of a Sixty-nine Year Old Man" by Rembrandt, 1635.  Brian E. will know why I included these.

    2. Ooh! The pressure's on, Jerry! It's gotta be the moustaches and beards. I certainly didn't think it was the ruffs! (But, one is allowed to have whichever predilection/s one chooses!) 🤣

    3. The pertinent fact here is that they are Dutch.

    4. Aww, I thought of the Dutch connection (as I live in the Netherlands), but dismissed it thinking I was being too self-referencing! Darn!

    5. LOL! Don't feel bad. I often miss the most obvious things while looking at details. I think it's part of my OCD spectrum.

  3. Very distinguished gentleman, to say I would love to have a de Vos or a Rembrandt hanging on my wall is an understatement. Lol.
