"Portrait Of A Gentleman, Head And Shoulders, Wearing A Striped Doublet" is an exquisite example of 17th-century portraiture, attributed to the Dutch-born English painter William Wissing, also known as Wissmig. Wissing, born in Amsterdam in 1656, was a prominent portrait artist who gained significant recognition in England. He was a pupil of Sir Peter Lely, one of the leading portrait painters of the time, and succeeded him as the principal painter to the royal court after Lely's death in 1680.

The painting depicts an unidentified gentleman, captured in a head-and-shoulders format, dressed in a distinctive striped doublet. The doublet, a fashionable garment of the period, is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing Wissing's skill in depicting textures and fabrics. The stripes of the doublet add a dynamic visual interest to the composition, contrasting with the more subdued background, which serves to highlight the sitter's face and attire.

Wissing's technique is characterized by his smooth brushwork and the subtle gradation of tones, which lend a lifelike quality to the sitter's features. The gentleman's expression is calm and composed, suggesting a sense of dignity and poise. The use of light and shadow in the painting is masterful, with the illumination carefully directed to emphasize the contours of the face and the intricate details of the clothing.

This portrait is a testament to Wissing's ability to capture not only the physical likeness of his subjects but also their social status and personality. His works were highly sought after by the English aristocracy, and he enjoyed considerable patronage during his career. Wissing's untimely death in 1687 at the age of 31 cut short a promising career, but his contributions to the art of portraiture remain significant.

"Portrait Of A Gentleman, Head And Shoulders, Wearing A Striped Doublet" exemplifies the elegance and refinement of Wissing's portraiture, reflecting the artistic trends and cultural milieu of late 17th-century England.
