"Man in a Helmet" (c. 1650) is an enigmatic painting attributed to the Dutch Golden Age painter Carel Fabritius (1622–1654). Fabritius, a pupil of Rembrandt, is renowned for his innovative use of lighting and perspective, which had a profound influence on later artists, including Johannes Vermeer. The painting depicts a soldier or a warrior wearing a polished metallic helmet that reflects light, showcasing Fabritius's mastery of chiaroscuro and his ability to render different textures with a high degree of realism.

The subject of "Man in a Helmet" is portrayed with a direct gaze that engages the viewer, and the work is characterized by its intimate scale and the psychological depth of the figure. The identity of the man and the purpose of the painting remain subjects of speculation, as does the question of whether it was intended as a portrait, a tronie (a character study not intended to be a portrait), or a historical or allegorical figure.

The provenance of "Man in a Helmet" is not fully documented, and the attribution to Fabritius has been a matter of debate among art historians. The painting's style and technique are consistent with Fabritius's small oeuvre, but the lack of a signature and the scarcity of comparable works by the artist have left room for uncertainty. Despite this, the work is often included in discussions of Fabritius's contribution to Dutch painting and is considered an important piece for understanding the development of portraiture and genre painting in the period.

"Man in a Helmet" is held in a private collection, and its limited public display has contributed to its relative obscurity compared to Fabritius's more famous works, such as "The Goldfinch" (1654). Nevertheless, the painting continues to be studied for its artistic merits and as a representative example of mid-17th-century Dutch portraiture.
