Dusart, a pupil of Adriaen van Ostade, is often associated with genre scenes of peasant life, yet this work demonstrates his proficiency in portraiture. The subject wears a voluminous periwig, a fashion that dominated European courts and upper-class circles during this period. His expression is composed, with a subtle, knowing gaze directed toward the viewer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe medium consists of graphite and grey wash, allowing for a delicate modulation of light and shadow across the subject's face and the intricate patterns of his clothing. The artist employs a soft, tonal approach to define the texture of the wig and the fabric of the garment, creating a sense of volume within the oval frame. The composition is contained within a drawn border, a common practice for drawings intended for collection or display in albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCornelis Dusart was active in Haarlem, where he became a member of the Guild of Saint Luke in 1679. His work often reflects the technical precision of his contemporaries, though he maintained a distinct hand in his handling of wash and line. This specific drawing is notable for its clarity and the preservation of the artist's signature and date, which provide a firm anchor for its place in his oeuvre. The identification of the sitter as Simon van Slingelandt remains a subject of historical inquiry, as the features align with the general portraiture conventions of the era rather than a definitive iconographic record. The work provides a window into the aesthetic preferences of the Dutch burgher class, where personal identity was frequently conveyed through the careful rendering of status symbols like the elaborate wig and fine textiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eApotheosis of Hercules - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cornelis Dusart","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491553579343,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491558494543,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491558527311,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491558560079,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491558592847,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491558625615,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491558658383,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491558691151,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491558723919,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491558756687,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491558789455,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491558822223,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-a-Man-perhaps-Simon-van-Slingelandt_Poster_CompositorV1_1786382769576.jpg?v=1786925278","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/portrait-of-a-man-perhaps-simon-van-slingelandt-cornelis-dusart","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
