Portrait of a Man
Backer was a Frisian painter who settled in Amsterdam. He is known mainly for his history paintings and portraits. This unknown man is wearing a sober black outfit, and has draped his cloak over his arm – a motif often used by Backer. Another characteristic is the attention he paid to the hands, which in this case are firmly clenched around a hat and a pair of gloves.
