About the piece

Painted by August Gerasch in 1908, this oil on panel work is a sophisticated homage to the Dutch Golden Age. It depicts a 'Gallant Gentleman' in opulent period costume, including a broad-brimmed hat and a black doublet with voluminous white sleeves, posed confidently against a soft, atmospheric garden background.
