"Portrait of a Scholar" is a painting by Ferdinand Bol, a Dutch artist from the Golden Age, who was a pupil of Rembrandt. The painting is believed to have been created in the mid-17th century, around 1650. It depicts a scholarly figure, possibly a philosopher or a scientist, immersed in thought or study. The subject is dressed in traditional attire of the period, featuring a dark robe and a white collar, which highlights his intellectual status.

The composition and lighting of the painting bear the influence of Rembrandt, characterized by dramatic use of light and shadow that focuses attention on the face of the scholar. This technique, known as chiaroscuro, helps to convey a sense of depth and volume, while also emphasizing the contemplative mood of the subject.

"Portrait of a Scholar" is notable for its detailed rendering of the scholar's features and the thoughtful expression captured by Bol. The background of the painting is subdued, using darker shades to ensure that the focus remains on the scholar himself. This portrait not only showcases Bol’s skill in capturing the human expression but also serves as a reflection of the cultural and intellectual climate of the 17th-century Netherlands, where learning and the arts were highly valued.

The painting is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it remains an important piece for studies of Bol's work and the broader context of Dutch Golden Age painting.
