"Portrait of a Bearded Man" is a notable work by the French artist Daniel Dumonstier (1574–1646), who was renowned for his skill in portraiture, particularly in the medium of chalk drawing. Dumonstier, a member of a family of artists, served as the official portraitist for the French court during the reign of King Louis XIII, and his works were highly sought after for their lifelike quality and the insight they provided into the personalities of his subjects.

The "Portrait of a Bearded Man" is exemplary of Dumonstier's mastery in capturing the character and essence of the sitter through his use of line and shadow. While the exact date of creation is not known, it is believed to have been produced during the early 17th century, a period when Dumonstier was at the height of his artistic powers. The portrait is executed in black and red chalk on paper, a medium that allows for both precision and subtlety in rendering the texture of the sitter's hair and beard, as well as the expression of his gaze.

The identity of the bearded man depicted in the portrait remains a subject of speculation, as is common with many of Dumonstier's works. The absence of any identifying insignia or background elements that could provide context for the sitter's social status or profession leaves the viewer to focus solely on the individual's physiognomy. The portrait's dimensions, provenance, and current location are also significant details that contribute to its art historical value, but these specifics may vary depending on the particular work in question.

As a significant piece within Dumonstier's oeuvre, "Portrait of a Bearded Man" reflects the artist's contribution to the development of portraiture in early modern France. It offers insight into the stylistic conventions and aesthetic values of the period, as well as the broader cultural and historical context in which the artist worked. The portrait is not only a testament to Dumonstier's individual talent but also an important artifact for understanding the evolution of European portraiture during a time of great social and political change.
