"Portrait of a Man" (1462) is a notable work by the Early Netherlandish painter Dieric Bouts the Elder. This painting exemplifies the meticulous attention to detail and the refined technique characteristic of Bouts' oeuvre. Dieric Bouts, active during the mid-15th century, is recognized for his contributions to the Northern Renaissance, particularly in the realm of portraiture and religious scenes.

The portrait captures a middle-aged man, whose identity remains unknown, rendered with a striking realism that was innovative for its time. The subject is depicted with a solemn expression, his gaze directed slightly to the side, which imbues the portrait with a sense of introspection and depth. The man is dressed in contemporary attire, which includes a dark robe and a chaperon, a type of hood that was fashionable during the period. The detailed rendering of the fabric and the subtle play of light and shadow on the man's face and garments highlight Bouts' skill in creating lifelike textures and forms.

Bouts' use of oil paint allowed for a high degree of precision and a rich, luminous quality in the depiction of the subject's skin and clothing. The background of the portrait is a simple, dark plane, which serves to focus the viewer's attention entirely on the sitter, enhancing the sense of intimacy and immediacy.

"Portrait of a Man" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the development of portraiture in Northern Europe. It reflects the transition from the more stylized and symbolic representations of earlier periods to a greater emphasis on individuality and naturalism. This work is housed in the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its technical excellence and historical importance.
