This portrait was cut from a larger religious work, probably in an attempt to make it more commercially appealing on the art market. Originally, the man would have been kneeling in prayer, perhaps before a devotional scene or holy figures. His garments, a fur-trimmed cassock and pleated surplice, indicate that he is a priest. The wrinkles and folds of flesh are characteristic of Ouwater’s heads.
