"A Diptych: Portrait of a Gentleman, Half-Length, in a Fur-Lined Coat, with Leather Gloves and a Letter in His Hand; and Portrait of a Lady, Half-Length, in a Black Dress and Pearl Encrusted Belt, Holding a Book" is a pair of oil-on-panel paintings by the German Renaissance artist Bartholomaeus II Bruyn, also known as Barthel Bruyn the Younger. Created in the 16th century, these two panels are exemplary of Bruyn's portraiture, which is noted for its meticulous detail and the rich portrayal of fabrics and textures.

The diptych features two separate portraits that together form a complementary set, a format that was popular among the Northern European nobility and wealthy burghers of the time for personal and matrimonial portraiture. The left panel depicts a gentleman dressed in a fur-lined coat, his status and wealth subtly indicated by his fine clothing and the presence of leather gloves and a letter, which may suggest his literacy or involvement in commerce or governance. The right panel presents a lady, likely the spouse or a close family member of the gentleman, attired in a black dress with a pearl-encrusted belt, holding a book, an accessory that often symbolized piety or learning.

Bartholomaeus II Bruyn, who hailed from a family of painters and was the son of Barthel Bruyn the Elder, was active in Cologne and is known for his contribution to the portrait genre. His work is characterized by a keen attention to detail and a strong sense of individuality in his subjects. The diptych is a fine example of Bruyn's skill in capturing the sartorial and cultural nuances of his era.

The paintings are significant for their representation of 16th-century German fashion, the social status of the sitters, and the cultural emphasis on literacy and personal virtue. As with many of Bruyn's portraits, these works provide valuable insights into the identities and lives of the middle and upper classes in Renaissance Germany. The diptych remains an important piece within Bruyn's oeuvre and contributes to the broader understanding of Northern Renaissance art.
