"Portrait of a Bearded Gentleman" is a painting attributed to Corneille de Lyon, a Dutch painter who was active in France during the 16th century and became renowned for his detailed and intimate portraits of the French nobility and bourgeoisie. Although the precise date of the painting is unknown, it is generally believed to have been created in the mid-16th century, a period during which Corneille de Lyon was at the height of his artistic career.

The painting is a bust-length depiction of an unidentified man, notable for its meticulous attention to the textures and colors of the subject's attire and the lifelike representation of his facial features. The subject is portrayed against a flat, dark background, which was typical of Corneille's style and serves to emphasize the figure's presence and expression. The gentleman's attire and the style of his beard may provide clues to his social status and the fashion of the time, reflecting the cultural and historical context of the French Renaissance.

Corneille de Lyon's portraits are characterized by their small size, usually not much larger than a modern sheet of paper, and are painted on wood panels. His technique involved the use of thin, smooth layers of oil paint, which allowed for fine gradations of tone and color, resulting in a delicate and refined finish that captured the subtleties of the human face.

"Portrait of a Bearded Gentleman" is considered an important work within Corneille de Lyon's oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in portraiture and his contribution to the art of the French Renaissance. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as a representation of 16th-century French portraiture. The identity of the sitter remains a subject of speculation among art historians, and the painting's provenance and attribution to Corneille de Lyon have been topics of scholarly research.

As with many works of this period, the provenance and historical record of "Portrait of a Bearded Gentleman" may be incomplete, and the attribution to Corneille de Lyon, while widely accepted, is based on stylistic analysis and comparison with other works by the artist. The painting is a valuable piece for understanding the evolution of portrait painting in France and offers insight into the society and culture of the time.
