"Portrait of a Gentleman, Bust-Length, in a Black Doublet with Lace Collar" is a 17th-century oil painting by the English artist Cornelis Jonson van Ceulen, also known as Cornelis I Johnson. The artwork is a fine example of Johnson's portraiture, which is characterized by its meticulous detail and the lifelike representation of its subjects. The painting depicts an unidentified gentleman, rendered in bust-length, who is dressed in the fashion of the period, notably wearing a black doublet—an outer garment worn by men in the 1600s—adorned with an elaborate lace collar, which was a symbol of status and wealth during the era.

Cornelis Johnson, born in London in 1593 to Flemish parents, was a prominent portraitist whose work provides a valuable insight into the attire and social customs of the English gentry and nobility of his time. His portraits are known for their precision and the subtle rendering of textures, as seen in the intricate lacework and the fine materials of the sitter's clothing in this particular painting. The gentleman's pose and expression are poised and dignified, reflecting the conventions of portraiture of the period, which aimed to convey the stature and character of the sitter.

While the exact date of creation is not specified, the style and attire suggest that the painting was likely produced during Johnson's most productive period in London, before he moved to the Dutch Republic in 1643. The painting is a testament to Johnson's skill in capturing the elegance and formality of his subjects, and it remains an important piece within the oeuvre of English portraiture of the early 17th century. The artwork's current location, provenance, and exhibition history are not provided, but it stands as a significant example of Johnson's artistic legacy and the cultural milieu of the time.
