"Portrait of an Elegant Man" is an oil on canvas painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Gerrit van Honthorst, who was also known as Gherardo delle Notti due to his Italianate style and his mastery in the use of chiaroscuro—dramatic contrasts between light and dark. The painting dates from the 17th century, a period when Honthorst was renowned for his ability to blend the realism of Northern European art with the compositional sophistication of Italian Renaissance and Baroque styles.

The artwork depicts a well-dressed gentleman, whose identity remains unknown, exuding an air of refinement and grace typical of portraiture aimed at capturing the social status and personal dignity of the sitter. The subject is often portrayed with a direct gaze, engaging the viewer and suggesting a sense of confidence and self-assuredness. The use of light in the painting not only highlights the figure's facial features and the texture of his clothing but also serves to create a sense of depth and volume, a technique that Honthorst had perfected under the influence of Caravaggio during his time in Rome.

"Portrait of an Elegant Man" is an example of Honthorst's secular work, as he was also known for his religious and mythological scenes. The painting's composition, use of color, and the lifelike representation of the subject's attire and demeanor are reflective of Honthorst's skill in portraiture. The work is significant for its contribution to the understanding of cultural and artistic practices in the Dutch Republic during the 17th century, as well as for its demonstration of the international exchange of artistic techniques and styles during this period.
