"Portrait of a Young Man, Standing Three Quarter Length by a Bookcase, Wearing Dark Costume and a Lace Collar, Holding Gloves" is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter Nicolaes Maes. Created in the 17th century, this oil painting exemplifies Maes's skill in portraiture, a genre for which he was highly regarded. The painting depicts an unidentified young man posed in a three-quarter stance against the backdrop of a bookcase, suggesting the sitter's erudition or social status. He is attired in a dark, elegant costume of the period, complemented by a fine lace collar, which was a fashionable accessory among the Dutch elite. The subject's poised demeanor and the inclusion of gloves, often a symbol of gentility and refinement, further emphasize the sitorial elegance and the cultural values of the time.

Nicolaes Maes, a pupil of Rembrandt, is celebrated for his sensitive approach to lighting and texture, both of which are evident in this work. The interplay of light and shadow on the sitter's face and costume, along with the meticulous rendering of the lace and the tactile quality of the gloves, showcase Maes's technical proficiency and his ability to capture the nuances of his subject's character and social standing.

While the identity of the young man remains unknown, the painting is a significant example of Maes's portraiture and provides insight into the artistic conventions and societal preoccupations of the Dutch Republic in the 17th century. The work is held in high esteem for its art historical value and as a representation of Maes's contribution to the development of Dutch portraiture.
