"Portrait of a Gentleman, Small Three-Quarter Length, in a Black Cloak, Holding a Hat" is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter Gerard ter Borch (1617–1681). Ter Borch was renowned for his intimate and finely detailed genre paintings and portraits, and this work is a prime example of his skill in capturing the subtleties of character and the textures of fabrics.

The painting depicts an unidentified gentleman standing in a three-quarter length pose, a common format for portraiture of the time. The subject is dressed in the fashion of the mid-17th century, wearing a black cloak and holding a hat, which suggests a status of wealth and social standing. The black cloak, a garment often associated with formality and dignity, envelops the figure, while the hat he holds adds to the sense of depth and dimensionality in the composition.

Ter Borch's mastery in rendering different materials is evident in the contrast between the softness of the lace collar and cuffs and the sheen of the black cloak. His use of light and shadow not only models the form of the subject but also contributes to the psychological presence of the sitter. The gentleman's expression is contemplative and reserved, typical of Ter Borch's ability to convey the inner life of his subjects through subtle gestures and facial expressions.

The exact date of creation for this painting is not specified, but it is likely from Ter Borch's mature period, when he had fully developed his technique and had established himself as a portraitist of the Dutch elite. The artwork is a testament to the cultural and artistic climate of the Netherlands during the 17th century, a period marked by a burgeoning middle class and a keen interest in individualism and the human condition.

As with many of Ter Borch's works, "Portrait of a Gentleman, Small Three-Quarter Length, in a Black Cloak, Holding a Hat" is significant for its contribution to the development of Dutch portraiture and its reflection of the social and historical context of the time. The painting is held in a private collection or museum, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and historical value.
