"Portrait of a Gentleman, Said to be Adriaen Brouwer, Half-Length, in a Dark-Blue Fur-Trimmed Coat and a Scarlet Hat, Smoking a Pipe and Holding a Glass" is a 17th-century oil painting by Flemish artist Jan Cossiers. The artwork is a captivating depiction of a man, believed to be the painter Adriaen Brouwer, portrayed with a striking realism characteristic of the Flemish Baroque period. Cossiers, a student of the prominent artist Peter Paul Rubens, was known for his skillful portraiture and genre scenes that often included lively characters and rich, vibrant colors.

In this portrait, the subject is rendered with a direct and engaging gaze, inviting the viewer into a moment of leisure and contemplation. The gentleman is dressed in a luxurious dark-blue coat with fur trimmings, suggesting a status of wealth or importance, while the scarlet hat adds a bold contrast to the composition, drawing attention to the sitter's expressive face. The act of smoking a pipe and holding a glass further implies a sense of casual ease and possibly a taste for the finer things in life.

The painting is notable for its fine attention to detail, particularly in the textures of the fur and fabric, as well as the delicate rendering of the smoke from the pipe. Cossiers' use of lighting accentuates the three-dimensionality of the figure and highlights the intricate features of the subject's face, including the wrinkles and the intensity of his gaze.

While the identification of the sitter as Adriaen Brouwer is not definitively established, the attribution adds an intriguing layer to the work, as Brouwer himself was a celebrated painter of peasant and genre scenes. If the identification is accurate, this portrait by Cossiers not only serves as a representation of an individual but also as a homage to a fellow artist within the context of the vibrant artistic community in the Southern Netherlands during the 17th century.

The painting remains an important example of Jan Cossiers' portraiture and contributes to the understanding of the cultural and artistic milieu of the time. It continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities, as well as its potential insights into the life and representation of Adriaen Brouwer and the society in which both artists lived and worked.
