"Portrait of a Man with a Beard" or "Portrait of a Man with Brown Hair" is a notable work by the 16th-century Dutch-born French painter Corneille de Lyon (c. 1500–1575). Known for his small-scale portraits of the French nobility, Corneille de Lyon was active in the city of Lyon, which was a vibrant cultural center during the Renaissance. His portraits are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail, vivid color palette, and the distinctive portrayal of sitters against a flat, often monochromatic background, which focuses the viewer's attention on the subject's face and expression.

This particular painting, "Portrait of a Man with a Beard," exemplifies Corneille de Lyon's style and technique. The work depicts an unidentified male subject, whose identity remains a mystery, making the painting an intriguing subject of art historical research. The sitter is portrayed with a naturalistic and introspective expression, a hallmark of Corneille's ability to capture the psychological presence of his subjects. The man's attire and grooming provide insights into the fashion and social norms of the French Renaissance, while the artist's skillful rendering of textures, from the sitter's hair and beard to the fabric of his clothing, showcases Corneille's mastery of portraiture.

The painting's provenance and the exact date of its creation are not well-documented, which is not uncommon for works of this period. However, Corneille de Lyon's portraits are generally dated to the mid-16th century, aligning with his most active period as a court painter. "Portrait of a Man with a Beard" is considered an important work within Corneille de Lyon's oeuvre, contributing to our understanding of the evolution of portraiture during the Renaissance and the cultural milieu of Lyon during this time.

As with many works of art from the Renaissance, the painting's current location and ownership may have changed over time, and it may be part of a private collection or displayed in a museum, contributing to the public's appreciation and study of Renaissance portraiture. The painting's significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its representation of the era's societal and cultural dynamics.
