"Portrait of a Gentleman (said to be Sir Edward Seymour, afterwards Duke of Somerset)" is an intriguing work attributed to the renowned French Renaissance portraitist François Clouet. Clouet, known for his detailed and realistic depictions, was a prominent artist at the court of King Francis I of France. This painting is believed to portray Sir Edward Seymour, who later became the Duke of Somerset, a significant political figure in 16th-century England.

Edward Seymour was the brother of Jane Seymour, the third wife of King Henry VIII, and he rose to prominence during the reign of his nephew, King Edward VI. As Lord Protector of England, Seymour wielded considerable influence, making him a key figure in the Tudor court. The attribution of the portrait to Clouet and its identification as Seymour are based on stylistic analysis and historical records, although definitive evidence remains elusive.

The painting exemplifies Clouet's mastery in capturing the subtle nuances of his subjects, with meticulous attention to detail in the clothing and facial features. The gentleman is depicted in typical Renaissance attire, reflecting the fashion and status of the time. The use of light and shadow in the portrait highlights Clouet's skill in rendering lifelike images, a hallmark of his artistic style.

While the exact date of the painting is not confirmed, it is believed to have been created in the mid-16th century, aligning with Clouet's active period. The work is part of a broader collection of portraits by Clouet, which includes depictions of various European nobility and royalty.

Currently, the painting is housed in a private collection, making it less accessible to the public. However, it remains a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts who study Clouet's contributions to Renaissance portraiture and the historical figures of the Tudor era.
