Oval painting of a bearded man wearing a crown of thorns, looking up with a sorrowful expression, draped in pink cloth against a dark background.

Man of Sorrows (Man van Smarten), follower of Guido Reni

An oval painting shows a bearded man with a crown of thorns, gazing upward with parted lips and wet, glowing eyes. A rose-pink drape falls over his bare shoulders against a dark, warm background. The loose brushwork and soft modeling suggest an oil on canvas in the Bolognese manner.
