"Portrait of a Man, Three-Quarter-Length, in a Purple Coat with a Lace Cravat, His Right Hand Resting on a Plinth, an Evening Landscape Beyond" is a notable work by Dutch Golden Age painter Nicolaes Maes, who was a pupil of Rembrandt van Rijn. This painting, dating from the 17th century, exemplifies Maes's adeptness in portraiture, a genre in which he gained considerable acclaim after focusing on genre scenes earlier in his career.

The portrait is a striking example of Maes's mature style, showcasing his skill in rendering textures and materials, as well as his ability to capture the psychological presence of his sitters. The subject of the painting is an unidentified man, depicted in a three-quarter length pose, which was a common format for portraiture of the time. He is dressed in a luxurious purple coat, a color often associated with nobility and wealth, suggesting the sitter's high social status. The coat is adorned with a delicate lace cravat, a fashionable accessory during the period, which Maes has rendered with meticulous attention to detail.

The sitter's right hand is casually resting on a plinth, a pose that conveys a sense of ease and confidence. This relaxed posture, combined with the direct gaze of the sitter, creates an engaging and lifelike representation. In the background, Maes has painted an evening landscape, a feature that adds depth to the composition and situates the figure within a broader spatial context. The use of chiaroscuro, with its strong contrasts of light and shadow, reflects the influence of Rembrandt on Maes's work and contributes to the dramatic effect of the portrait.

While the identity of the man in the portrait remains unknown, the painting is an important work within Nicolaes Maes's oeuvre and offers insight into the conventions of portraiture in the Dutch Golden Age. It is a testament to the artist's technical proficiency and his ability to convey the status and personality of his subjects through the medium of paint.
