"Portrait of a Gentleman, Half-Length, in a Blue Jacket and a Gold-Embroidered Waistcoat, His Right Hand Resting on a Ruined Capital" is a notable work by Nicolaes Maes, a prominent Dutch Golden Age painter who was a student of Rembrandt van Rijn. This painting exemplifies Maes's adeptness in portraiture, a genre in which he gained considerable acclaim after shifting his focus from genre scenes to portraiture later in his career.

The painting depicts an unidentified gentleman, rendered with meticulous attention to detail and a rich palette, characteristic of Maes's mature style. The subject is portrayed with a dignified air, wearing a blue jacket and a luxuriously gold-embroidered waistcoat, which reflects the fashion of the period and the status of the sitter. His right hand is casually placed on a ruined classical capital, a motif that may suggest the sitter's learnedness or reference the transience of life and the ruins of antiquity.

Maes's skill in capturing the textures of fabrics and the play of light on different surfaces is evident in this work. The use of chiaroscuro and the careful modeling of the sitter's face also demonstrate the influence of Rembrandt on Maes's technique. The portrait is a testament to the artist's ability to convey both the opulence of the Dutch mercantile class and the psychological depth of his subjects.

This painting is a significant contribution to the oeuvre of Nicolaes Maes and offers insight into the artistic conventions and societal norms of 17th-century Netherlands. It remains an important piece for the study of Dutch portraiture and the enduring legacy of Rembrandt's pupils.
