"Portrait of a Gentleman in Black Robe, Three-Quarter Length, Seated at a Table, a Wooded Landscape with Two Church Spires in the Background" is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter Bartholomeus van der Helst. This painting is an exemplar of van der Helst's skill in portraiture, showcasing his ability to capture the elegance and dignity of the Dutch burgher class during the 17th century. The subject of the painting, though not identified by name, is depicted with a sense of individuality and realism that was characteristic of van der Helst's style.

The portrait features a gentleman dressed in a black robe, a common attire for the affluent and scholarly men of the period, which suggests his status and wealth. The three-quarter length pose allows for a detailed rendering of the sitter's visage and attire, while also providing a glimpse into his personal environment. The sitter is seated at a table, which often served as a symbol of stability and thoughtfulness, and may be adorned with objects that reflect his interests or profession.

In the background, a serene wooded landscape opens up, punctuated by two church spires that rise into the sky. This inclusion of landscape elements within a portrait was a technique used by artists of the time to add depth and context to their depictions of sitters. The churches may indicate the sitter's religious affiliation or may simply serve as a compositional element to balance the portrait.

His portraits are celebrated for their subtlety and the lifelike presence they convey.
