"Portrait of a Gentleman" is believed to have been painted around the 1580s, a period when Custodis was gaining recognition in England. The painting typically features a male subject, dressed in the fashion of the Elizabethan era, characterized by elaborate clothing and accessories that signify wealth and social standing. The gentleman in the portrait is often depicted with a ruff, a common fashion accessory of the time, and other period-specific attire.

His use of color and light contributes to the lifelike quality of the portrait, highlighting the sitter's features and expressions. The background of the painting is usually simple, drawing attention to the subject and emphasizing the portrait's focus on individual character and presence.
